EcoArmor Pest Defense provides termite inspection, treatment and Sentricon baiting in Van Alstyne, Texas, from an office in Anna. Subterranean termites are what does the damage in North Texas, and they reach a house through soil contact — which Van Alstyne’s older housing and outbuildings supply more of than a new subdivision does.
Why Termite Control in Van Alstyne Is Not Generic North Texas
Old wood, close to the ground
Homes standing here since the 1890s and early 1900s were built with framing, floor joists and subfloor that subterranean termites feed on, sitting over ventilated ground. A crawl space can at least be inspected from underneath, which often means catching activity earlier than on a slab — but there is far more accessible wood in contact with damp soil.
Outbuildings are usually the first find
Barns, sheds, shops and fence lines put untreated wood directly into soil across the property. Those are frequently where an active colony shows up first, and they are missed entirely by an inspection that stops at the house.
New construction is not exempt
A builder’s soil pre-treat has a service life. Homes built through the recent growth along US-75 are far enough along that the original treatment can no longer be assumed intact.
What’s Included
- A full inspection appropriate to the foundation, including the crawl space where there is one
- A look at outbuildings, fence lines and wood in soil contact across the property
- Identification of conducive conditions: soil contact, damp framing, grade against siding
- Treatment matched to the structure and the finding, not a single default
- Sentricon baiting where it suits the property
Questions About Termite Control in Van Alstyne
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.
Will you inspect the barn?
Yes. On acreage the outbuildings are often where the evidence is, and leaving them out makes the inspection much less useful.
Is Sentricon used on every job?
No. Baiting suits many properties here but the right treatment depends on the structure and the finding. We recommend after looking.
