Termite Control in McAllen, TX
Subterranean termites are the dominant termite threat in the Rio Grande Valley. Drywood termites also appear in older Central McAllen homes with mature wood structures.
Why this is a McAllen issue
McAllen has a subtropical climate with average summer highs near 97°F and winter lows around 52°F. There is no hard winter freeze, so termites stay active year-round rather than dying off in winter as they do in colder regions. This makes consistent treatment and exclusion more important than a one-time fix.
Signs of termites in your home
- Mud tubes along foundation walls or slab edges
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Discarded wings near windowsills in spring
- Buckling paint or warped wood surfaces
