Free Pest Inspection in Plano, TX

What makes Plano different

Plano grew fastest through the late 1970s and 1980s. A very large share of the housing stock is slab-on-grade from that era, now forty-odd years old.

That age is the point. Forty years of Blackland Prairie clay shrinking in drought and swelling after rain works on a slab, and the resulting movement opens hairline separations at the perimeter, around plumbing penetrations and at expansion joints. Those are exactly the routes subterranean termites use to reach the structure without ever being seen.

What that means for pests

Subterranean termites are the headline risk in Plano. Ants are the most common call, and mature landscaping around established homes keeps the pressure up year after year.

What a Plano inspection should cover

Any competent inspector will work through the accessible interior and exterior. In Plano specifically, these are the things worth making sure they look at:

• The full slab perimeter for mud tubes, particularly behind shrubs and in the garage
• Expansion joints and plumbing penetrations where the slab has moved
• Any earlier termite treatment and whether the warranty is still live
• Irrigation heads soaking the foundation, which sustains a colony year round

Timing

Termite swarmers appear indoors in spring, most often on windowsills on the first warm day after rain. This is the single most misread sign in Plano.
