Metal shop going up? Termites can't eat the steel, but they'll go after everything you put inside it. That's why this whole pad got treated before the slab was poured.

What's in the shot: a steel-frame commercial building with the full building pad treated, not just the edges. The green tint is the marker dye in the termiticide, so the crew and the inspector can see the coverage across the interior and down into the footing trenches on each side. Once the v***r barrier and concrete go down, that treated soil sits under the entire slab.

Why it matters in West Texas: around Midland, Odessa, Andrews, and Seminole, plenty of homes, shops, and businesses are metal buildings. Subterranean termites come up from the soil through slab cracks, expansion joints, and plumbing penetrations, then feed on wood framing, drywall paper, cabinets, door frames, and stored boxes. A steel frame doesn't stop that, and the dry topsoil out here pushes termites toward the cooler, damper ground under a new slab.

What to do: if you're building a shop, barn, house, or addition, ask your builder for the pour date and book the pretreat while the pad and footings are still open. If your metal building is already finished, check the base of interior walls, door frames, and anything stored on the floor for mud tubes, and call us for an inspection if you see any.

Your front door is one of the busiest bug highways on the house this time of year. As West Texas nights cool off, crickets, spiders, and roaches start looking for a warm way in, and the porch light, door frame, and porch ceiling are where a lot of them gather first.

Quick fall check for Midland, Odessa, Andrews, and Seminole homes: look for daylight around the bottom and sides of your front and back doors, replace worn door sweeps and weatherstripping, knock down webs in porch corners and soffits, and switch porch bulbs to yellow or warm LED so they pull fewer insects to the door at night.

Tejas Pest and W**d Control treats the outside of the home where these pests travel: door frames, porch ceilings, eaves, windows, and the foundation line. Midland and Odessa from our Midland yard; Andrews and Seminole from our Andrews yard.

Look how far that green line runs. That's the point of a termite pretreat: one continuous treated zone along every foot of the footing, with no gaps for termites to slip through.

What's in the shot: a long footing trench on a commercial build, dug and formed, with the soil already treated. The green tint is the marker dye in the termiticide, so the crew and the inspector can see exactly where the treatment went. The barrier has to run unbroken around the whole perimeter and along interior footings, because subterranean termites only need one untreated spot about as wide as a pencil.

Why it matters in West Texas: Midland, Odessa, Andrews, and Seminole soil stays dry on top, so termites travel deep and follow the cooler, damper soil that forms under a new slab. Once concrete is poured, the only way to fix a gap is drilling and injecting from above, which costs more and disturbs finished floors.

What to do: if you're building a home, shop, barn, or addition, ask your builder when the footings will be open and book the pretreat before the pour. If you're in an existing building, walk the slab edge, garage walls, and door frames for mud tubes, and call us for an inspection if you spot one.

That blue plastic is the v***r barrier, and the green soil peeking out at the edge is the part that matters most for termites. On a new build, the termite pretreat goes into the soil before the barrier goes down and the slab is poured.

Why it matters in Midland, Odessa, Andrews, and Seminole: subterranean termites live in the soil, not in the house. When our dry fall and winter set in, they move deeper and follow moisture. A slab keeps the soil under it cool and damp, so termites work their way up through plumbing gaps, cracks, and expansion joints looking for wood.

Homeowner tip for this fall: keep mulch, soil, and firewood pulled back from your foundation and siding, fix dripping outdoor faucets and AC lines, and check along the slab edge, garage walls, and door frames for pencil-width mud tubes.

Tejas Pest and W**d Control handles termite pretreats on new construction and termite inspections and treatments on existing homes and buildings. Midland and Odessa from our Midland yard; Andrews and Seminole from our Andrews yard.

See the excavator and those open footing trenches? That's the window for a pre-construction termite pretreat — before the concrete locks everything in.

What's in the shot: commercial footing trenches dug and ready, with green-treated soil in and around the dig. That green tint is the termiticide marker dye. We treat the soil while the excavator still has the trenches open so the barrier sits exactly where subterranean termites would climb up once the slab and walls go in.

Why it matters in West Texas: Midland, Odessa, Andrews, and Seminole sit on dry caliche and clay. Termites dig deep for moisture, and a new slab creates cool, damp soil they'll follow straight into the framing through cold joints, plumbing gaps, and form ties. Treating the open trench now is far cheaper than drilling and trenching after the building is finished.

What to do: building a home, shop, barn, garage, or addition? Put pretreat on the schedule before your footing inspection and pour. Already in an older building? Ask for a termite inspection and look for mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or discarded swarmer wings.

See that probe in the grass? That's how a deep-root tree treatment gets down to where a shade tree actually feeds: out under the canopy, not right up against the trunk.

Fall tip for Midland, Odessa, Andrews, and Seminole: trees keep building roots after the leaves slow down, and our fall and winter are usually dry. When it hasn't rained in a few weeks, give shade trees a slow, deep soak out at the drip line, and keep it up on mild winter days. Watering only at the trunk misses most of the feeder roots.

Why now: mid-fall, while the soil is still warm and before trees go fully dormant, is a good window for soil-injected root feeding.

Tejas Pest and W**d Control handles fall tree treatments for homes, ranch properties, and commercial grounds. Midland and Odessa from our Midland yard; Andrews and Seminole from our Andrews yard.

Before the concrete goes in, the termite protection goes in. This is a commercial footing ready for its pour: rebar cage set, forms built, and the soil in and around the trench already treated (that green-blue tint is the termiticide marker dye).

Why we treat footings and not just the pad: footings run deepest and carry the walls, so that's where subterranean termites tend to find their way up. Once the concrete cures, cold joints, shrinkage cracks, and plumbing gaps give them a hidden path into the framing. Treating the trench now puts a barrier right where they'd start.

Why it matters in West Texas: our dry caliche and clay push termites to dig deep for moisture, and the cool, damp soil under a new slab is exactly what they're looking for. Treating it before the pour costs a lot less than drilling and trenching after the building is up.

What to do: building a home, shop, barn, garage, or addition anywhere around Midland, Odessa, Andrews, or Seminole? Get your pretreat on the schedule before your footing inspection and pour. Already in an older building? Ask for a termite inspection.
