Tejas Pest and Weed Control

11/03/2026

Pier-and-beam house or an older home with a crawl space? This is one of Blake's own job photos: our tech suited up in a respirator, treating for termites under the floor in a tight West Texas crawl space.

Why it matters: subterranean termites live in the soil. Under a crawl-space home, the dirt sits just a couple of feet from your floor joists, and leaky plumbing or poor venting keeps that soil damp, which is exactly what termites want. Our mild winters around Midland, Odessa, Andrews and Seminole keep them working out of sight all year.

What to do: peek in the crawl-space access with a flashlight. Look for mud tubes on piers and foundation walls, soft or crumbly wood near pipes, and wet soil under plumbing. Fix leaks, keep vents clear, and don't store wood or cardboard under the house. If you see tubes or damage, don't tear them up; let us take a look first.

Building or adding on this winter? This is one of Blake's own job photos: footing trenches on a West Texas commercial site, treated for termites before the concrete goes in. The green dye shows exactly where the termiticide went.

Why it matters: subterranean termites come up from the soil, and once a slab is poured, the ground under it is hard to reach. Treating the trenches and pad first puts a barrier right where termites would travel into the new building. Our mild winters around Midland, Odessa, Andrews and Seminole keep termites working underground year-round.

What to do: if you're building a home, shop, barn, or room addition, ask your builder whether a termite pretreat is on the schedule before the pour. Already built? Watch slab edges and garage joints for mud tubes.

Call or text 432-934-5248 to schedule a pretreat or a termite inspection.

Termites in Andrews or Seminole? Check baseboards and door frames first.
https://www.tejaspwc.com/post/indoor-termite-signs-andrews-seminole

Termites in Andrews and Seminole work out of sight. Check baseboards, door frames, and cabinets for mud lines, bubbled paint, and hollow trim. Call or text 432-934-5248.

This is what termites left behind inside a door frame. One of Blake's own photos from a West Texas job: once the trim and drywall came off, the wood underneath was covered in dried mud trails and chewed-out grain.

Subterranean termites eat wood from the inside and travel in mud so they never dry out. From the room side, this door frame probably just looked like a sticking door or some bubbled paint.

What to watch for: doors or windows that suddenly stick, paint that bubbles or cracks along trim, baseboards that sound hollow when tapped, and thin mud lines on slab edges or walls.

Termites keep working through our mild West Texas winters, so if you notice any of these around Midland, Odessa, Andrews or Seminole, get it inspected now instead of waiting for spring.
