When Texas temperatures climb, so does termite activity. The intense summer heat can drive termites deeper into the soil—or straight into your home in search of moisture and wood. For homeowners across the state, this means staying alert and proactive is key to avoiding costly structural damage.

Why Termites Thrive in Texas Summers
The combination of heat and humidity creates ideal conditions for termite colonies to grow and spread. Subterranean termites, the most common species in Texas, remain active year-round but become especially aggressive during warm months. If your home has any wood-to-soil contact, moisture issues, or foundation cracks, you may be at risk.
Warning Signs of a Termite Infestation
Stay alert for these common signs of termite activity:
Mud tubes on exterior walls or near the foundation
Swarms of winged insects (especially near lights or windows)
Discarded wings around doors or baseboards
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
Blistered or darkened wood surfaces
If you notice any of these, your home may already be under attack. All-Safe Pest & Termite offers comprehensive termite control services to assess and eliminate infestations before they cause further damage.

Keep firewood and mulch at least 20 feet away from your home.
Trim shrubs and trees to prevent direct contact with your home’s exterior.

Schedule a professional inspection before or during the summer.
