Termite Pressure in Crockett & Houston County
Crockett, TX sits in one of Texas’s highest-risk termite zones. The combination of sandy loam soils near the Davy Crockett National Forest, elevated humidity, and abundant pine and hardwood timber creates ideal conditions for Eastern subterranean termites and Formosan termites to establish colonies under and inside homes year-round. Termite swarm season typically runs February through May in East Texas — but worker termites feed on wood every single day without a break.
Signs of infestation homeowners in Crockett commonly notice include mud tubes along the foundation, hollow-sounding wood, blistered paint, discarded wings near windowsills, and unexplained wood dust. If you see any of these, visit our signs of termite infestation guide and call us immediately — termite damage compounds fast.
Sentricon Always Active — The #1 Termite Defense in Crockett
Critter Gitters is a Certified Sentricon Always Active Specialist — one of only a select number of companies in East Texas to hold this designation. Sentricon uses in-ground bait stations around your home’s perimeter that worker termites find and carry back to the colony, eliminating the queen and the entire colony over time.
Unlike traditional liquid soil treatments that create a chemical barrier that can degrade or shift with East Texas rainfall, Sentricon continuously monitors and protects your property 24/7/365. Learn how it works in our blog post: How Sentricon Works.
WDO/WDI Inspections for Crockett Real Estate & VA Loans
Selling or buying a home in Houston County? Texas requires a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) report — also called a WDI inspection — for VA loan approvals and many conventional sales. Our ACE-certified technician performs thorough inspections documenting evidence of termites, carpenter ants, wood-decaying fungi, and wood-boring beetles throughout the structure.
We turn around WDO reports quickly to keep your closing on schedule. Call (936) 544-3800 to book your inspection.
