For more than 70 years, our family-owned company, Modern Pest Control, has served residential and commercial properties in the Greater Houston area. As a third-generation pest management company, we combine local experience with advanced termite detection methods, environmentally responsible practices, and treatment recommendations based on the property’s conditions.
We offer free inspections, liquid treatments, and termite baiting systems for properties throughout Houston. Whether you’ve found signs of active termites or want preventive guidance, we can evaluate the structure and explain which next steps fit the inspection findings.
Our inspection process includes accessible interior and exterior areas of the property. We look for visible evidence such as mud tubes, discarded termite swarmer wings, damaged wood, moisture conditions, and soil-to-wood contact. These findings can help distinguish current concerns from older damage or wood deterioration caused by other conditions.
We use infrared and microwave technology to help examine concealed areas and identify conditions that may warrant closer review. Detection technology supports a professional inspection, but it can’t guarantee that every termite or hidden area of damage will be found. Construction, access, moisture, and the location of termite activity can all affect what’s visible during an inspection.
After evaluating the property, we provide our findings and recommended next steps. When documentation such as a Wood Destroying Insect report is needed, the report records visible evidence and relevant conditions observed at the time of inspection. We also explain environmental or structural changes that may help reduce future termite activity.
Liquid Treatments & Termite Baiting Systems
Termite treatment decisions depend on evidence of activity, the building’s construction, access conditions, and areas that may support subterranean termites. Our available options include liquid termiticides and termite baiting systems. We use the inspection findings to recommend treatment or prevention rather than applying the same approach to every property.
Our work reflects integrated pest management, a strategy that combines inspection, targeted control, monitoring, and practical prevention guidance. This approach can include addressing moisture, drainage, wood debris, and direct soil-to-wood contact alongside the selected termite treatment.

Houston Termite Control FAQs
What Are the Signs of a Termite Infestation?
Termite activity can be difficult to detect because much of it may occur inside wood or concealed areas. Common signs include mud tubes along foundations or walls, discarded wings from termite swarmers, blistered or damaged wood, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped. These signs warrant a professional inspection, but their absence doesn’t rule out termite activity.
How Often Should I Have a Termite Inspection?
An annual inspection is a reasonable baseline because termite activity and damage may be difficult to spot. The appropriate timing can vary based on previous activity, construction, moisture, preventive treatments, and changing conditions around the property. An inspection may also be appropriate after you find swarmers, mud tubes, discarded wings, or suspicious wood damage.
What Does a Termite Inspection Involve?
Our inspections examine accessible interior and exterior areas for termite activity, damaged wood, mud tubes, discarded wings, and conditions conducive to infestation. We may also use infrared and microwave technology when examining concealed areas. Afterward, we provide our findings and recommended next steps so you can make an informed treatment or prevention decision.
Are Termite Treatments Safe for My Family & Pets?
We use eco-friendly and low-risk treatment options and explain applicable precautions during service. Safety depends on the selected product, application method, label directions, property conditions, and whether people or pets need to avoid a treatment area temporarily. We can review relevant instructions before treatment so you know what to expect.
How Can I Prevent Future Termite Infestations?
Reduce excess moisture, maintain gutters and drainage, remove wood debris, and minimize direct soil-to-wood contact where practical. Mulch, firewood, wooden structures, and plumbing leaks near the foundation also deserve attention. Because prevention can’t eliminate every risk, we offer preventive maintenance programs tailored to the property’s needs.
