A continuous chemical barrier in the soil around your foundation — installed by licensed Texas applicators, backed by warranty.
Active infestation? Calling is the fastest option: (903) 388-7516.
Liquid termite treatment is the application of a liquid termiticide into the soil around and beneath a structure, creating a continuous treated zone that subterranean termites cannot cross without picking up the active ingredient. Because the termiticide is undetectable to them, foraging termites tunnel straight through the treated soil, carry the product back to the colony on their bodies, and pass it to nestmates through grooming and feeding.
That’s the difference between a liquid termite barrier and a bait system. Baits wait for termites to find a station. A liquid termiticide treats the soil they must already travel through to reach your home — the moment the barrier is complete, every route in is a treated route.
At InfestAway Pest Control, we install liquid termiticide treatments on slab homes, pier-and-beam homes, mobile homes, shops, and outbuildings across Palestine and the surrounding Anderson County communities.
We inspect the foundation, crawlspace, attic access, plumbing penetrations, expansion joints, and wood-to-soil contact. You get a diagram of conducive conditions, active areas, and existing damage — not a verbal guess.
You see the product we'll use, linear footage treated, drilling locations, cost, and warranty coverage. One clear price in writing before anything starts.
We open a 6"x6" trench along the exterior foundation, apply solution at label rate, and rod deeper where footing coverage is needed. Soil is backfilled treated for a continuous barrier.
Where concrete meets the foundation (driveways, patios, porches, garage slabs), we drill precise holes, inject termiticide beneath the slab, and patch holes flush.
Bath traps, plumbing penetrations, expansion joints, and pier-and-beam substructures receive targeted termiticide application wherever the inspection calls for it.
You receive official treatment records, product label info, and warranty paperwork. We schedule an annual re-inspection to confirm the barrier remains 100% intact.

Structural pest control is regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture. Here is why Anderson County trusts our local team:
Structural pest control is regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture, and our applicators are licensed and certified under it.
Locally owned and operated in this community. You get a real technician who knows East Texas construction, not a rotating route.
If your home does not need a liquid termite treatment, we'll say so. We give transparent evaluations without high-pressure sales.
Written quote before work begins, detailing linear footage and product volume, with no surprise add-ons.
Multi-year renewable warranty options backed by scheduled annual re-inspections to ensure your barrier remains unbroken.
We handle official Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) reports for buyers, sellers, and lenders on fast turnaround notice.
Anderson County sits in one of the most termite-active regions in the country. Eastern subterranean termites are native here, they nest in the soil, and they never stop foraging — they don’t hibernate, and our mild winters mean colonies stay active year-round.
Three local conditions make it worse:
A colony can forage over an area the size of a football field. Treating only where you see damage leaves the rest of the perimeter wide open. A liquid termite barrier treats the entire perimeter, which is why it remains the standard for whole-structure protection.
Most Palestine homes we treat do best with a liquid barrier as the foundation of protection. Some properties — heavily landscaped lots, wells or cisterns close to the foundation, certain crawlspaces — call for a combined approach. We’ll tell you which one your house needs, including when that answer is “you don’t need this yet.”
How it works: Treated soil zone around the entire structure.
Speed: Immediate protection in place as soon as barrier is finished.
Best for: Active infestations, real estate transactions, whole-structure protection, slab or attached concrete.
Disruption: One treatment day; drilled holes are neatly patched.
Longevity: Multi-year protection under label conditions, verified at annual inspection.
How it works: Termites must locate and feed at in-ground stations.
Speed: Weeks to months for full colony elimination.
Best for: Monitoring, sites where trenching or drilling is impractical, ongoing colony pressure.
Disruption: Minimal install, requires regular scheduled service visits.
Longevity: Continuous as long as stations are regularly serviced.
Any one of these justifies an inspection. Termite damage is not covered by most Texas homeowners insurance policies, so the cost of waiting lands on you, not your carrier.
Mud tubes running up the foundation, piers, or interior walls used as shelter from open air.
Discarded wings collecting near windows, doors, or light fixtures, especially in spring swarm season.
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or gives easily under light pressure with a screwdriver.
Floors that feel spongy underfoot, or hardwood floorboards that have started to blister and warp.
Doors and windows that suddenly stick as structural framing shifts from termite feeding.
Bubbling or peeling paint resembling water damage, or small frass piles near baseboards.
Verify with client before publishing — insurance framing should be accurate and non-alarmist.

LIQUID TERMITE TREATMENT QUESTIONS
A properly installed liquid termiticide barrier protects for several years under normal soil conditions, with the exact duration depending on the product, soil type, and drainage at your property. Annual re-inspection is how you confirm the barrier is still intact — grading changes, new landscaping, plumbing repairs, and trenching for utilities can all breach a treated zone.
Yes, when applied by a licensed applicator at label rate. The termiticide goes into the soil around and beneath the structure, not into your living space. Most families stay home during treatment; we’ll tell you if any area needs to be avoided and for how long.
Price depends on the linear footage of your foundation, the construction type, and how much concrete has to be drilled. We quote in writing after the free inspection — no phone estimates, because they’re guesses.
In most cases, no. The majority of the work is exterior trenching and drilling around the foundation perimeter.
Subterranean termites must return to the soil for moisture. Once the treated zone is in place, workers moving between the colony and your structure pick up and transfer the active ingredient, which collapses the colony over the following weeks.
We schedule free inspections in Palestine and nearby cities promptly, and we offer same-week treatment for active infestations.
You can buy retail termiticide, but the treatment only works if the barrier is continuous. Homeowner applications typically miss slab penetrations, bath traps, and areas under attached concrete — and a barrier with a gap is not a barrier. Misapplication also risks contaminating soil or water sources. Texas requires a licensed applicator for commercial application for a reason.
Yes. We perform Wood Destroying Insect inspections and provide the official report your lender, buyer, or title company requires.
