Mud tubes running up your foundation are subterranean termites building a protected path from the soil to the wood framing — our inspection traces every tube back to its source before we quote a barrier treatment. A colony can feed on structural wood for years before any visible sign appears on the surface, which is why routine inspection matters even without an active swarm.
We check the sill plate, foundation cracks, and crawl space for mud tubes and wood-to-soil contact before recommending treatment.


Our Termite Control crew is certified specifically for termiticide application, not general pest work.
We keep inspection slots open same-week for Lucas homeowners seeing mud tubes or wings near windows.
You'll see one written quote before any termiticide is applied — no per-visit billing surprises.
We use moisture meters, sounding hammers, and sometimes thermal imaging to find damage hidden behind finished walls.
A liquid barrier is trenched and applied along the full foundation line, not just the section where mud tubes were spotted.
Stations use a slow-acting bait that colony members share, which can eliminate the nest rather than just the visible tubes.
We identify drywood frass (small pellet droppings) to pinpoint exactly which framing member needs treatment.
Photos of any damage found are included in the report so buyers and agents see exactly what was inspected.
Moisture meters and sounding tools help us map the extent of existing damage before recommending repairs.
Commercial properties get scheduled monitoring and renewal treatment under a documented termite protection plan.

Tell dispatch whether it's a swarm sighting or existing damage; swarm calls get expedited scheduling.
Our mobile units carry both liquid termiticide and bait station equipment for Lucas termite calls.
We trace mud tubes, check for wood-to-soil contact, and identify subterranean versus drywood species before quoting.
Guarantee coverage means continued activity within the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
The WDO report they provided was exactly what our lender needed for closing — saved us from a delay.
Knowing the difference between drywood and subterranean species mattered — our treatment was completely different than what a neighbor got for the same symptom.
As a property manager, having a bonded termite plan on file made our annual insurance review painless.
We were about to list our house when the pre-listing inspection caught early subterranean activity — glad it was found before a buyer's inspector did.

Nex Pest Control dispatches termite-certified technicians throughout Lucas and nearby communities for both inspections and treatment. Real estate transactions, renewals, and new active infestations all fall under the same Lucas service area and response timeline.

Termite wings are equal in length and shed easily near a single point, while ant wings are uneven in size — a technician can confirm on site.
Subterranean termites need soil contact and build mud tubes, while drywood termites live entirely inside dry wood without soil access.
Yes, a WDO report is standard for most real estate transactions and we can usually schedule it within a few days.
Barrier treatments typically hold for several years, with monitoring visits confirming the barrier is still effective.
Most subterranean treatments are done outside the structure, so interior disruption is minimal.
If monitoring shows continued activity, we return and address it at no additional charge under your plan.
