Why Certification Matters

Jose J. Losoya — Certified Applicator, Termite & Fumigation Licensed

Certified Termite Applicator

State-licensed termite treatment — both liquid and baiting methods

Licensed Fumigator

Certified for full structural fumigation when required by infestation severity

Personal Accountability

Every inspection and treatment is performed or directly supervised by Jose J. Losoya

Not all pest companies are equal. Termite and fumigation licenses require specialized training and state examination — fewer than half of general pest applicators hold both.

Step-by-Step Process

Thorough Termite Inspections

Our inspection is far more than a quick glance. We follow a structured four-step process designed to surface every active infestation and every condition that could invite one.

1
Step 01

Interior & Exterior Examination

We conduct a thorough walk-through of all accessible interior spaces — crawl spaces, attics, basements — and examine the full exterior perimeter, including foundation walls, wood siding, trim, and any attached structures.

  • All accessible crawl spaces & attics
  • Foundation walls & entry points
  • Wood siding, eaves & window frames
  • Attached structures (garages, porches)
2
Step 02

Moisture Assessment

Moisture is the #1 termite attractant. We use professional-grade moisture meters to locate hidden dampness in walls, subfloors, and framing — before termites turn it into a buffet.

  • Subfloor and wall cavity moisture readings
  • Roof leak indicators
  • Plumbing-area assessment
  • HVAC condensation zones
3
Step 03

Wood-to-Soil Contact Review

Direct wood-to-soil contact is an open invitation for subterranean termites. We identify every point where structural wood meets or approaches soil — a critical finding that many generic inspectors overlook.

  • Fence posts & deck footings
  • Foundation form boards
  • Landscaping mulch against structure
  • Stump or root systems nearby

Step 04

Detailed Findings Report

You receive a clear, plain-English report covering every finding — active infestation evidence, conducive conditions, and prioritized recommendations. No jargon, no surprise upsells.

  • Active termite evidence (mud tubes, frass, galleries)
  • Conducive conditions ranked by risk
  • Treatment options with transparent pricing
  • Prevention recommendations

Every inspection includes a free written estimate — no strings attached.

Treatment Options

Proven Treatment Solutions

There's no one-size-fits-all termite treatment. We assess your property and recommend the right approach — or a combination — based on infestation type, structure, and your priorities.

Most Common

Liquid Termiticide Treatments

Immediate, Long-Lasting Barrier Protection

A continuous liquid termiticide barrier is applied around and beneath the structure — creating a treated zone that kills termites on contact and prevents new colonies from entering. Ideal for active infestations requiring immediate resolution.

Advantages

  • Works immediately — stops active infestations fast
  • Long-lasting protection (up to 10 years with reputable products)
  • Covers the entire structure perimeter comprehensively
  • Non-repellent formulas allow termites to transfer product to colony

Considerations

  • Requires drilling into concrete in some areas
  • One-time application (not self-sustaining)
Eco-Minded Option

Baiting Systems

Colony Elimination with Ongoing Monitoring

Strategically placed bait stations are installed around the perimeter. Foraging termites find the bait, consume it, and share it with the colony — eliminating the source. Ongoing monitoring ensures continued protection and early re-infestation detection.

Advantages

  • Targets the entire colony — not just foragers
  • Minimal chemical use, ideal for eco-conscious homeowners
  • Continuous monitoring built in to the program
  • Low disruption — no drilling or trenching required

Considerations

  • Elimination takes weeks to months (slower than liquid)
  • Requires ongoing service visits

Ongoing Protection

Ongoing Termite Protection Plans

A one-time treatment is effective — but termites don't give up. San Antonio's warm climate means year-round termite pressure. Our ongoing plans combine recurring professional inspections, proactive monitoring, and expert guidance to keep your property permanently protected.

Protect Your Biggest Investment

The average termite repair cost ranges from $3,000 to $8,000+. A protection plan costs a fraction of that — every year.

Boost Property Resale Value

Buyers and inspectors look for active pest plans. Documented termite protection gives you a clear advantage when it's time to sell.

Recurring Inspections

Scheduled annual or bi-annual inspections keep your protection current — catching new activity before it becomes a costly repair.

Bait Station Monitoring

For properties with installed bait systems, we check and replenish stations on a routine schedule to maintain continuous colony suppression.

Moisture Control Guidance

We identify and advise on drainage issues, plumbing leaks, and humidity problems that attract termites — stopping the problem at its source.

Wood-to-Soil Remediation

Recommendations and assistance correcting direct wood-to-soil contact points around your home — one of the most overlooked termite entry risks.

Property Value Protection

Active termite protection documentation is a real estate asset. A current plan demonstrates responsible home stewardship to future buyers.

Peace of Mind

One yearly visit from a certified applicator is far less expensive than a single structural repair bill. Protection plans give you the confidence to stop worrying.

Suspect Termites? Don't Wait.

Termite damage is invisible at first — and it compounds every single day. By the time you see visible signs like bubbling paint or hollow-sounding wood, colonies may have been active for months. The longer you wait, the more expensive the repair.

Common Questions

Termite Treatment FAQs

Honest answers to the questions homeowners ask most. No fluff.

Yes. The professional-grade termiticides we use are applied specifically to soil and structural zones — not living spaces. Once dry, they present no health risk to children or pets. We use targeted application methods to minimize any exposure, and we'll give you specific re-entry guidance for your home after treatment. For properties with special concerns, we can discuss eco-friendlier baiting options.

Liquid termiticide barriers typically last 5–10 years depending on the product, soil conditions, and disturbance from landscaping or construction. Baiting systems provide ongoing protection as long as monitoring and bait replenishment continue. We'll be upfront about the expected duration and recommend a schedule for follow-up inspections to ensure continuous coverage.

Common signs include: mud tubes on foundation walls or crawl spaces, discarded wings near windowsills or entry points (a sign of a recent swarm), hollow-sounding or visibly damaged wood, bubbling or peeling paint (which mimics water damage), small piles of frass (termite droppings that resemble sawdust), and tight-fitting doors or windows from structural warping. Many infestations show none of these signs until damage is significant — which is why proactive inspections matter.

It depends on the species, extent, and location of the infestation. Subterranean termites (the most common in San Antonio) can almost always be addressed with liquid barriers or baiting — tent fumigation is rarely necessary for them. Drywood termites, which live entirely within the wood, sometimes require fumigation for widespread infestations. Jose will assess your situation and recommend only what's actually needed — we won't suggest fumigation unless the evidence clearly supports it.

Yes. We stand behind our work. Specific warranty terms depend on the treatment type and product used — liquid barriers typically carry a manufacturer-backed warranty in addition to our service guarantee. We'll walk you through exactly what is covered before any work begins, so there are no surprises. If you see renewed activity within the coverage period, contact us and we'll return at no additional charge.
