Termite FAQs — McKinney, TX
How do I know if termites are active versus old damage?
Active subterranean termite signs in McKinney homes include moist mud tubes on the foundation, swarmers near windows in March or April, and hollow-sounding baseboards or door frames. Old damage shows up as papery wood with no fresh tubes. The inspection confirms which case applies.
Are products applied directly to food prep areas?
No. Treatments in kitchens go into cracks, crevices, and voids — never on counters or food-contact surfaces. Gel baits are placed inside cabinet hinges and behind appliances where pests travel but food does not.
What does the inspection cover?
The first visit walks interior rooms, attic access, crawlspace if present, exterior foundation band, fence-line harborage, and any reported activity points. The technician identifies species, locates entry points, and builds a treatment plan specific to the McKinney property — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Is there anything I need to do before the technician arrives?
For most Termite Inspection & Treatment visits, no prep is required. For bed bug heat treatments, prep instructions go out 48 hours ahead. For roach jobs, the technician asks for access to under-sink cabinets and behind appliances; clearing those areas in advance speeds up the visit.
Are the products safe around children and pets?
Yes. Termite Inspection & Treatment in McKinney uses EPA-registered products applied per label rate. After treatment, indoor surfaces are dry within about an hour. Pets and children can re-enter treated rooms once visible product has dried — typically before the technician finishes the exterior.
