Older construction in Round Rock, particularly around Dell Diamond, Sam Bass Road corridor, ages into pest vulnerability in predictable ways.
Pellet evidence on attic floors
Drywood termites don't touch soil. They enter through unsealed roof vents or fly in during nighttime swarm flights, then establish colonies in roof framing that produce small piles of six-sided fecal pellets on the attic floor below.
The pattern repeats consistently enough across Williamson County properties to warrant standard attention rather than case-by-case treatment.
Rerouting condensate away from foundations
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.
Annual inspection that addresses this directly catches issues months earlier than reactive responses.
Paint blistering on interior baseboards
Subtle paint blistering on interior baseboards or door frames sometimes indicates termite activity in the wall cavity behind. The blistering looks like minor moisture damage and gets overlooked until galleries are advanced.
Property owners who get ahead of this pattern see substantially fewer recurring issues than those who don't.
Why annual inspection catches earlier-stage colonies
Mature termite colonies in Williamson County structures are typically 5-8 years old by the time damage becomes visible to homeowners. The 5-8 year gap between establishment and visibility is the strongest argument for annual inspection.
Routine inspection that explicitly checks this saves the cost of major remediation later.
