The short answer
How do I know if I have termites?
A termite inspection in Austin documents accessible evidence before treatment is recommended. Shelter tubes, discarded wings, damaged wood, moisture, and wood-to-soil contact help direct the assessment, while prior repairs or treatment records provide history. These observations must be distinguished from ants, rot, or old damage. An inspection does not automatically authorize a soil application, baiting system, or other specialty method; availability and the proposed scope are confirmed in writing. Follow-up checks review the accessible findings and any agreed monitoring rather than promising that a quiet interval proves the structure is termite-free. Request a free estimate and mention any property-transaction paperwork you need before booking.
- Mud-like shelter tubes on foundations, piers, plumbing, or walls
- Discarded equal-length wings or swarmers near windows and lights
- Wood that sounds hollow or reveals layered damage with soil material
A closer look
Checking an accessible foundation entry point
A flashlight inspection illustrates checking an accessible exterior gap. The actual pest evidence, access limits, and written scope determine the work at your home.
A general pest plan does not automatically include termite treatment or a real-estate wood-destroying insect report. Category availability, inspection type, warranty, and treatment scope must be confirmed in writing.
Inspection first
What happens during a termite inspection?
Every visit starts with the property, not the product. This is what the technician checks before recommending anything.

What it costs
How much does termite treatment cost in Austin?
Termite work is quoted from the inspection, not from a plan price. Linear footage of foundation, construction type, slab or pier-and-beam access, and whether the activity is active or historic all change the scope. Treatment is a separate written estimate.
The initial-service fee is confirmed in your written quote. Payment authorization is collected at signup; the initial-service fee and first monthly payment are charged after initial service completion, plus applicable tax.

Good to know
What Austin homeowners ask about termites.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call (737) 247-7143 or text us and ask a human.
Does a termite inspection include treatment?
An inspection documents accessible evidence and conditions; it does not automatically authorize treatment. Any recommended termite work receives a separate estimate and scope before it is scheduled.
What does a termite follow-up check establish?
Follow-up reviews the accessible evidence and any monitoring or treatment covered by the written scope. Ask what was checked, what changed, and when another check is due. A quiet interval alone does not prove that a structure is free of termites.
Are winged ants and termite swarmers the same?
No. Termite swarmers generally have straight antennae, a broad waist, and two pairs of similar-length wings. Ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist, and unequal wing pairs. A specimen helps confirm it.
Does visible damage prove termites are active?
Not by itself. Wood can show old termite damage, moisture decay, or another wood-destroying insect. An inspection looks for active insects, shelter tubes, moisture, and current conditions.
