EcoArmor Pest Defense provides termite control in Allen, Texas, from an office at 279 Highview Ln in Anna. Nearly every home here had a builder’s soil pre-treat, and on a house of this age that treatment is long past its service life.
Why Termite Control in Allen Is Not Generic North Texas
The pre-treat has expired
Nearly every Allen home had a soil pre-treat at construction. On a house from the 1990s or 2000s that treatment is long past its service life, and a great many owners have never had an inspection since the day they moved in.
Mature landscaping holds moisture at the slab
Twenty-five years of irrigation, deep mulch and established beds keep soil damp against the foundation, which is exactly the condition subterranean termites want. The landscaping that makes an Allen street look settled is also what feeds this.
Slab-on-grade hides it until late
With very few crawl spaces here there is no underside to inspect from, so evidence shows up as mud tubes on the stem wall, a hollow baseboard or a spring swarm — by which point the colony has been feeding a while.
What’s Included
- A full inspection of the structure and the conducive conditions around it
- Identification of soil contact, damp framing and grade held against siding
- Treatment matched to the structure and the finding rather than one default
- Sentricon baiting where it suits the property
- A plain account of what was found, including when the answer is no active infestation
Questions About Termite Control in Allen
When do termites swarm here?
Subterranean swarms in North Texas usually come in spring, often on a warm day after rain. A swarm indoors means an established colony rather than one passing through.
My house had a pre-treat. Am I covered?
For a while. A soil pre-treat has a service life; it does not protect the house indefinitely, which is why inspection matters as the house ages.
Is Sentricon used on every job?
No. Baiting suits many properties but the right treatment depends on the structure and the finding. We recommend after the inspection, not before.
