Many homeowners believe termites disappear in the cooler months, but in East Texas, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Our warm, humid climate keeps colonies active underground all year long — even when you don’t see signs on the surface.
At Bug Police, we know that the best termite defense is prevention. Once termites make their way into your home’s foundation or wood framing, the damage can spread fast and cost thousands to repair.
Common Signs of Termite Activity:
Even in fall and winter, termites keep working quietly. Keep an eye out for:
Soft spots or blistered paint on walls or baseboards
Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
Small mud tubes on exterior walls or near your foundation
Discarded wings from swarming termites in spring
If you spot any of these, it’s time to call Bug Police immediately for an inspection.
Why Termites Thrive in East Texas
Our region’s mild winters and consistent humidity make it ideal for subterranean termites, one of the most destructive species in the U.S. They live underground and can travel more than 100 yards from their colonies to find food sources.
That’s why annual termite inspections and preventive treatments are crucial for homeowners in Longview and surrounding areas.
