Anyone working pest control across Dallas County for long enough learns that Carrollton has its own patterns. The conditions that drive infestations here are specific.
Downspout discharge against the foundation
Downspouts dumping water directly against foundations create localized soil saturation zones that attract termites independent of overall yard drainage. Extending downspout drains 4-6 feet from the foundation removes one of the most common conducive conditions.
Annual inspection that addresses this directly catches issues months earlier than reactive responses.
Termite re-treatment after pool, addition, or foundation work
Foundation work, room additions, or pool installations disturb perimeter termite barriers placed during original construction. Re-treatment after major exterior work prevents gaps in protection that often go unnoticed.
Homeowners assessing pest risk in Carrollton should weight this consideration alongside species identification.
Flood Zone
Properties in flood-prone zones see termite activity surge in the 6-12 months following any significant flooding event. Saturated soil, structural moisture intrusion, and disturbed perimeter chemical barriers create a window of elevated vulnerability.
Property owners who get ahead of this pattern see substantially fewer recurring issues than those who don't.
When swarmers on the windowsill matter
Spring swarmers piling up on windowsills aren't a warning of future infestation. They're confirmation that a mature colony already exists somewhere within 100 feet of that window. The colony took 3-5 years to reach reproductive size before producing those swarmers.
Detection at this stage gives treatment options that aren't available once activity has progressed.
