I contacted Critter Gitters this morning to help me eradicate a huge wasp nest on the front of my house and around the eaves of my roof. They kindly came out a couple of hours later, killed all of the wasps, and sent me a picture of the nests. Now THAT’S service!!! Wouldn’t use anyone else!! Thanks Lane for your help and awesome service!

We have used Critter Gitters for years and wouldn’t think to go elsewhere. They are extremely detail oriented, down to the de-webbing of the whole exterior of our home. They are always extremely professional and punctual (which is a huge must for us). I couldn’t recommend a better company than Critter Gitters!

Joey Baker was highly recommended by the realtor who sold me my house. I saw what looked like termites, but Joey came right away and identified carpenter ants. I saved some dead ones in a zip lock bag for him to look at. He and his team treated the inside and outside of the house. It only took 2 treatments to get rid of the little critters. Don't do what I did. When they first started trailing out of the wall, I sprayed pesticide on them. Joey let me know to let them trail, otherwise they will go back in and make another colony.

Whether one has bugs inside their home or outside, Critter Gitters offers the complete pest control services. Having mosquito issues outside, they have a service for that. Termite issues, they have a service for that too. Locally owned, and affordable. The technicians are also professional, safe, and understand that each homeowner has their own unique concerns.

Why Termites Love East Texas
Warm weather. Humidity. Plenty of wood. We’ve basically created termite paradise around here.
Subterranean termites (the kind we deal with most) live underground in colonies that can have
millions of insects. They have scouts looking for thermal shadows from trees, stumps and your
home. When found, they build mud tubes up to your house and chew through wood 24/7.
They don’t sleep. They don’t take breaks. They just eat.
The Two Types of Termite Protection We Offer
Liquid Treatments (Termidor)
We trench around your foundation and apply Termidor – a product that creates a barrier in the soil. Termites can't detect it, they pick it up on their bodies, carry it back to the colony, and it spreads through the whole population.
This is effective and works fast. Good for active infestations or when you need immediate protection (like during a real estate transaction).
Sentricon Always Active System
This is what Joey recommends for long-term protection – and it's what's included in our Elite Plan.
Here's how it works: We install monitoring stations around your home. These stations contain bait that termites actually prefer over wood. When they find it, they feed on it, share it with the colony, and it eliminates the entire colony – including the queen. The best part? Sentricon protects your home 24/7, year-round. And it's the system used to protect the Statue of Liberty, the White House, and millions of homes across the country.
Joey recommends Termidior HE / Sentricon Combo Treatment
TERMITE CONTROL & SENTRICON SYSTEM IN EAST TEXAS
The best part? Sentricon protects your home 24/7, year-round. And it’s the system used to protect the Statue of Liberty, the White House, and millions of homes across the country.
Why Joey Chose Termidor HE / Sentricon for His Own Home Refer to the Combo Termite CIS
Joey’s seen every termite treatment out there – worked with them all during his seven years at Disney World and almost 20 years running Critter Gitters.
He’s got Sentricon on his own house. That should tell you something.
I’s not the cheapest option. But it’s the most effective for long-term protection. No drilling inside your house. No trenching every few years. Just continuous monitoring and elimination.
How the Termidor HE / Sentricon System Combo Works
Installation of Sentricon System: We place stations around your home – usually every 10-20 feet depending on your property. They're installed in the ground, out of sight.
Monitoring: We check the stations regularly (included with your Elite Plan service visits). If termites find the stations, they'll start feeding.
Elimination: Once they're feeding, the bait disrupts their growth process. They can't molt, can't mature, and the colony collapses. No more termites.
Ongoing Protection: The stations stay active year-round. Even after eliminating one colony, they're ready to intercept the next one before it ever reaches your house.
Termite Inspections & Real Estate Reports (WDI/WDO)
Buying or selling a home? Most lenders require a termite inspection before closing.
TERMITE CONTROL & SENTRICON SYSTEM IN EAST TEXAS
We do full Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) reports – also called Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) reports depending on who’s asking.
Joey or one of our licensed inspectors will check your entire home – inside, outside, attic, crawlspace. We’re looking for active termites, damage, and conditions that attract them.
You’ll get a detailed report that meets Texas real estate requirements. If we find something, we’ll give you a treatment quote on the spot.
Most inspections are done within a few days, and reports are delivered fast because we know closings don’t wait.
Signs You Might Have Termites
Mud tubes on your foundation or walls (about the width of a pencil)
Discarded wings near windows or doors (usually in spring)
Wood that sounds hollow when you tap it
Sagging floors or ceilings
Stuck windows or doors (wood warping from damage)
Small piles of what looks like sawdust (actually termite droppings)
See any of these? Don’t wait. Call us.
What’s Included in the Elite Plan
Full Sentricon Always Active system with installation, monitoring, and maintenance.
For Essential or Premium customers, we can add Sentricon separately or do a liquid treatment if that makes more sense for your situation.
Liquid Termite Treatment – When It Makes Sense
Termite Control Across Our Service Areas
Whether you’re in Crockett, Palestine, Huntsville, Conroe, or anywhere else we service, termites are a risk.
We’ve treated thousands of homes across East Texas. We know the local conditions, the risk factors, and what works.
Why Termite Protection Matters
The average termite repair costs thousands of dollars. And here's the kicker – homeowners insurance doesn't cover it.
