Seasonal pest activity in Kyle stretches longer than in northern states and produces overlapping species pressure. Hays County's calendar doesn't match textbook timelines.
Year-round moisture from drain line termination
AC condensate drain lines that terminate against foundation walls create year-round moist soil zones in summer. The slow drip continues even during outdoor dry periods, maintaining a termite-friendly microclimate at one specific foundation point.
The pattern repeats consistently enough across Hays County properties to warrant standard attention rather than case-by-case treatment.
Extending downspouts away from the structure
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.
The pattern repeats consistently enough across Hays County properties to warrant standard attention rather than case-by-case treatment.
Garage Attached
Attached garage slabs share an expansion joint with the main house. Termites entering the garage slab edge can reach interior framing within months without ever appearing on the exterior. Garage inspection is as important as house inspection.
Inspection protocols that miss this category produce the recurring issues homeowners attribute to treatment failure.
Hairline foundation cracks as termite entry routes
Hairline foundation cracks in slabs that look cosmetic provide termite entry points just as effective as expansion joints. Crack monitoring during inspection differs from structural engineering crack assessment.
The pattern repeats consistently enough across Hays County properties to warrant standard attention rather than case-by-case treatment.
