Termites are one of the most destructive forces a Central Texas home or business can face — and the worst part is, they often work in silence for years before you ever notice a problem. At Angel Home and Commercial Services, we’ve been helping homeowners and businesses in Seguin, TX and across Central Texas defend their properties from termites since 1987. As a certified Sentricon Specialist and Termidor Certified provider, we bring nearly four decades of local expertise and proven technology to every termite inspection and treatment we perform.
Understanding Termites in Central Texas
Central Texas is home to several termite species, and knowing your enemy is the first step toward protecting your property. The species most commonly encountered in this region include:
- Eastern Subterranean Termites — The most widespread species in Texas, they build underground colonies and travel through mud tubes to reach wood sources above ground.
- Formosan Termites — An aggressive invasive species that forms extremely large colonies and can cause structural damage faster than native species.
- Drywood Termites — These termites live entirely within the wood they infest, making them harder to detect and treat with standard methods.
- Desert/Agricultural Termites — More common in drier, rural areas, these termites primarily target dead plant material but can affect structures as well.
Termite swarms — when winged reproductives emerge to start new colonies — typically occur in Central Texas from early spring through May. Seeing swarmers in or around your home is one of the clearest warning signs that a colony may already be established nearby. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage across the United States every year, and most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage.
Signs of a Termite Infestation
Because termites can go undetected for years, knowing what to look for can save you from costly repairs down the road. Watch for these warning signs around your home or business:
- Mud tubes running along your foundation, walls, or crawl space — these are the highways subterranean termites build to travel between soil and wood
- Hollow-sounding wood when you tap on baseboards, door frames, or structural beams
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures after a swarm
- Frass (termite droppings that look like tiny wood-colored pellets), which is a common sign of drywood termites
- Bubbling or uneven paint on walls that can mimic water damage
- Tight-fitting doors or windows caused by tunneling that warps the surrounding wood
If you’re noticing any of these signs, don’t wait. A large, established colony can cause significant structural damage within a single year. Contact us for a free termite estimate and let our team assess what’s happening before it gets worse.
Our Termite Treatment Methods
At AHCS, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team evaluates each property individually and recommends the treatment strategy best suited to the species present, the construction type of your structure, and the severity of any existing activity.
Termidor Certified Treatment
For active termite infestations, we use Termidor, a professional-grade liquid termiticide applied to the soil around your foundation. We are Termidor Certified, meaning our technicians have completed specialized training to apply this product correctly and effectively. Termidor works through a transfer effect — termites that contact the treated zone carry it back to the colony, helping to eliminate the problem at its source rather than just on the surface.
Sentricon System with Always Active Technology
For ongoing termite monitoring and prevention, Angel Home and Commercial Services is proud to be a certified Sentricon Specialist. The Sentricon System with Always Active Technology is installed around the perimeter of your property as a series of in-ground stations. Unlike older bait systems that only activate after termite activity is detected, Always Active stations contain active bait from day one — so protection begins immediately and works continuously.
Our technicians monitor and service these stations on a regular schedule, giving you real-time insight into termite pressure around your property without any disruption to your yard or foundation. The Sentricon system is also a lower-impact option for homeowners who prefer a more targeted, environmentally considerate approach — which aligns with our broader Integrated Pest Management philosophy for sensitive environments.
If you’re looking for a termite inspection in Central Texas paired with a long-term prevention plan, the Sentricon system is one of the most reliable tools available.

Preventing Future Termite Damage
Treatment is only part of the equation. The best defense against termite damage is a combination of professional monitoring and smart habits around your property. A few things that help:
- Eliminate wood-to-soil contact around your foundation and crawl spaces
- Keep firewood stored away from the structure and off the ground
- Fix moisture problems like leaky gutters, standing water near the foundation, and poor drainage
- Seal cracks in your foundation and around utility entry points
- Schedule regular professional inspections, especially if you live in a high-risk area
With a Sentricon monitoring system in place, our team keeps watch year-round — so if termite pressure increases around your home, we know about it before you have a problem inside your walls.
