Termite Control in Texas City, Texas
Termite control in Texas City, Texas from Bevis Pest Control helps homeowners and businesses find termites early, stop active colonies, and keep them from coming back.
Bevis Pest Control has served Southeast Texas since 1947, and Texas City is home. Our office is at 826 9th Ave N, so when you call about termites, you are talking to a local team that knows these neighborhoods and can usually get an inspector to you quickly.
Termite control in Texas City, Texas means protecting a housing stock that grew fast. The city went from about 16,600 residents in 1950 to more than 32,000 by 1960, and many of the homes built in that boom are now 60 to 70 years old, with the wood-to-soil contact, patched siding, and aging slabs that let subterranean termites in. Texas City also has true historic homes, like the 1897 Davison Home and its neighbors on Heritage Square, plus newer waterfront communities such as Lago Mar and the elevated homes at Grand Cay Harbour on Moses Lake.
Water is part of life here too. Hurricane Carla put about four feet of water over much of the city in 1961, and Hurricane Ike pushed an 11-foot surge across the Texas City Dike in 2008. Formosan termites are confirmed in Galveston County, and Texas A&M AgriLife lists high moisture from leaks and poor drainage among the top reasons homes get infested.

How We Handle Termites in Texas City
Inspect. We walk the property inside and out and show you what we find: mud tubes, damaged wood, pellets, swarmer wings, and the moisture or wood-to-soil contact that is inviting termites in.
Identify and plan. We confirm the species, because subterranean, Formosan, and drywood termites each need a different approach. Treatment plans are built around the inspection: liquid termiticide treatments for subterranean and Formosan termites, whole-structure tent fumigation for drywood termites, and ongoing annual coverage so someone is checking the house every year.
Written estimate. You get the price in writing before any work starts. No pressure and no surprises.
Treat. Our licensed technicians complete the treatment and explain what to expect over the following weeks.
Follow up. We schedule follow-up inspections so the protection keeps working year after year.

Termite Control for Texas City Homes, From Heritage Square to Lago Mar
An older Texas City home near Nessler Park and a new build in Lago Mar can both have termites, but for different reasons. On older slab homes, subterranean and Formosan termites come up through cracks, expansion joints, and the gaps around plumbing. Termites only need a very small opening, so an inspection has to go room by room, not just around the outside. On newer homes, the usual culprits are mulch beds piled against the slab, wood fences tied into the house, and irrigation keeping the soil wet next to the foundation.
Drywood termites are a separate problem. They fly in, move straight into dry wood like attic rafters, window trim, and furniture, and never need soil. The giveaway is small piles of pellets below the damage. Bevis treats drywood activity with spot treatment when it is contained and tent fumigation when it is not.
Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control in Texas City, TX
What are the signs of termites in a Texas City home?
Look for pencil-width mud tubes on the foundation or piers, discarded wings on window sills, wood that sounds hollow when tapped, bubbling or cracked paint, doors and windows that suddenly stick, and small piles of pellets that look like coarse sand or sawdust. Pellets usually point to drywood termites. Mud tubes point to subterranean or Formosan termites.
When do termites swarm in Texas City?
It depends on the species. Native subterranean termites usually swarm from January through April, during the day, often right after a rain. Formosan termites swarm at night from early May through June and gather around porch lights and windows. Texas A&M entomologists point to the week before and after Mother’s Day as peak Formosan season. Drywood termites swarm in late summer and early fall. If you find winged termites or piles of wings inside, call for an inspection.
I saw flying termites around my porch light. Should I be worried?
Take it seriously. Night swarms around lights in May and June usually mean Formosan termites. Texas A&M entomologist Dr. Robert Puckett has said that swarmers within 5 to 10 feet of a house point to a new colony developing right next to it. Save a few in a zip-top bag or a jar of rubbing alcohol and call for a free inspection so we can confirm the species.
Is it a termite or a flying ant?
Termites have straight antennae, a thick waist, and two pairs of wings that are the same length. Flying ants have bent antennae, a pinched waist, and front wings longer than the back ones. If you are not sure, bring or send us a sample and we will identify it.
Do you offer termite inspections when buying a home in Texas City?
Yes. Schedule the termite inspection early in the option period so there is time to price any treatment or repairs before closing. We will walk you through what we found and what it means for the house.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage in Texas?
Usually not. Standard homeowners policies treat termite damage as preventable maintenance, so the repair bill typically lands on the homeowner. Check your own policy, but plan on prevention and early detection being your real protection.
How much does termite treatment cost in Texas City?
It depends on the size of the home, the construction type, the termite species, how far the activity has spread, and which treatment fits. A drywood infestation that needs tent fumigation is priced differently than a liquid treatment for subterranean termites. The inspection is free, and you get a written estimate before any work starts. Call 800-880-5630 to schedule.
How long does termite treatment last?
A professional liquid soil treatment can protect a home for several years. Termite pressure on the Gulf Coast never really lets up, though, so we recommend a yearly inspection to confirm the treatment is holding and to catch any new activity early.
