Our Termite Services
No matter where they are,
we won’t quit till they’re gone
Inspections, liquid barrier treatments, bait systems, termite bonds, and damage assessments for Kaufman County homes built on clay soil.
Termite Inspection
If you haven’t had a termite inspection, there’s no way to know what’s under your slab. Our licensed technicians inspect your foundation, crawl spaces, and wood structures to catch activity early.
Subterranean Termite Treatment
Don’t wait for visible damage. Subterranean termites get in through soil contact, foundation cracks, and plumbing penetrations. We use liquid barriers and bait systems to eliminate the colony.
Termite
Bond
A termite bond is an ongoing protection agreement. If termites return after treatment, we come back at no extra cost. It’s the kind of coverage lakefront properties near Cedar Creek Lake count on.
Termite Damage Assessment
If you’ve spotted damaged wood, mud tubes, or swarmers, it’s time for a full assessment. We document the damage and tell you exactly what needs treating. No guesswork, no pressure, just the facts.
Did you know?
A termite colony doesn’t show up after you buy a house. It’s already there. Subterranean termites can live in the soil under a home for years before they ever reach the wood.
Termite Control Questions in Kaufman TX
There are no stupid questions.
Answers to common questions about termite control, treatment options, inspection timing, and termite bonds in Kaufman TX.
What are the signs of termites in a Kaufman, TX home?
Signs of termites in a Kaufman, TX home include mud tubes along the foundation, soft or hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windowsills after a swarm, and paint that bubbles or looks like water damage. Kaufman County’s Blackland Prairie clay soil holds moisture near foundations year-round, creating conditions that favor subterranean termite activity.
How much does termite treatment cost in Kaufman, TX?
Termite treatment cost in Kaufman, TX is based on the linear feet of your foundation, the type of treatment, whether you have a slab or pier and beam foundation, and the severity of the infestation. Pier and beam homes, which are common in older Kaufman neighborhoods and lakefront Kemp properties, typically cost more to treat than slab homes because of access requirements. United Termite and Pest Solutions provides free estimates for all termite work.
What is the difference between a liquid termite treatment and a bait system for a Kaufman home?
In Kaufman, TX, homeowners typically choose between a liquid soil barrier treatment and an in-ground bait system. A liquid treatment creates a chemical barrier around your foundation that kills termites on contact, while a bait system uses stations around the perimeter that termites carry back to the colony. Liquid treatments deliver faster results, but bait systems are well suited for ongoing monitoring, especially for homes on large lots or near moisture-heavy areas like Cedar Creek Lake. The right choice depends on your foundation type and the severity of any current activity.
How often should Kaufman County homes be inspected for termites?
Annual termite inspections are recommended for homes in Kaufman County, where the Blackland Prairie clay soil and East Texas humidity create year-round termite pressure. Lakefront properties near Cedar Creek Lake face even higher risk due to elevated moisture levels and common pier and beam construction. Homes with a termite bond typically receive annual inspections as part of the bond terms.
What is a termite bond and is it worth it for a Kaufman home?
A termite bond is a service agreement that covers ongoing termite monitoring, retreatment if termites return, and sometimes repair costs for damage found after the agreement is active. For Kaufman County homeowners, especially those with older homes or pier and beam construction, a bond provides ongoing protection and documentation that may be required during a home sale. United Termite and Pest Solutions offers termite bonds for eligible properties.
Are termites common in Kaufman, TX?
Yes, subterranean termites are very active in Kaufman, TX. The Blackland Prairie soil retains moisture near foundations, heavy spring rains in March through May trigger swarming season, and the mild East Texas winters rarely kill off colonies the way sustained hard freezes do in other climates. Homes of any age in Kaufman County can be affected.

United Termite and Pest Solutions offers next-day response for termite calls in Kaufman and throughout Kaufman County. We’ll inspect the issue, confirm whether termites are present, and walk you through treatment options. Call (469) 552-4796 to get on the schedule.
What is included in a termite inspection in Kaufman, TX?
A termite inspection covers the interior and exterior of your home, including the foundation, crawl spaces, attic access points, and wood-to-soil contact areas. The inspector checks for live termites, mud tubes, frass, swarm wings, and wood damage. United Termite and Pest Solutions holds a separate Commercial Applicator license for termites, meaning our inspectors are certified specifically for this work.
What should I do if I see termite swarmers in my Kaufman home?
If you see swarmers inside your home in Kaufman, it usually means a colony is already established nearby or within the structure. Swarmers appear in spring, typically between March and May in East Texas, when warm temperatures and rain trigger reproductive flight. Don’t vacuum them up and wait. Call for an inspection right away, because the longer you wait, the more damage the colony can cause.
How do new construction homes in Kaufman County get termites?
New construction in Kaufman County, especially in areas like Prairie Creek Estates and Seagoville’s Santorini development, disturbs soil during grading and creates direct wood-to-soil contact during framing. Builder pre-treatments help but don’t always provide long-term coverage. Many new homeowners find that scheduling a termite prevention service or annual inspection after moving in gives them better long-term protection.
