Termite Control and Remediation in Montgomery, TX

Termites don't announce themselves. By the time you spot mud tubes on the foundation or a wing pile on a windowsill, they've usually been chewing away for a while. That's why we take a look before problems get expensive. I'm J.D. Fisher, owner and certified applicator at Army Ant Pest Termite. We've been handling termite control in Montgomery, TX since 2012, and I want you to understand exactly what you're getting before you ever pay a dime.

What a termite inspection actually covers

An inspection is more than a quick walk around the yard. When I come out, I'm looking at the whole picture: where your home meets the soil, where wood touches the ground, and anywhere moisture collects and gives termites an easy way in.

• The foundation and slab, checking for mud tubes and cracks termites use as highways
• Crawl spaces, sill plates, and floor joists where subterranean termites tend to start
• Window and door frames, baseboards, and any wood that sounds hollow when tapped
• Exterior wood: fence posts, decks, porch supports, and stacked firewood near the house
• Moisture problem areas like leaky faucets, gutters dumping against the foundation, and poor drainage

I'll tell you what I find in plain language. If there's no active problem, I'll say so. If there is, I'll show you where and explain what we're dealing with.

How remediation works after an active infestation

Finding termites isn't the end of the world, but it does mean we need a plan. Every home in Montgomery County is a little different, so remediation starts with mapping out where the colony is active and how it's getting in.

From there, the treatment targets the termites directly and creates a barrier so the colony can't keep feeding on your home. Subterranean termites live in the soil and travel up, so treating the ground around and under the structure is a big part of the job. We treat the areas where activity shows up and the spots most likely to be hit next.

Remediation isn't a one-and-done spray. After treatment, we follow up to confirm the activity has stopped and that new tubes aren't forming. If something's still going on, we address it. You shouldn't have to wonder whether it worked.

What's included in a free estimate

Our estimates are free, and there's no pressure attached. Here's what you get:

• A hands-on inspection of the areas that matter
• An honest report on whether termites are present and how far it's gone
• A clear recommendation for treatment or a monitoring plan, whichever fits
• A written price so you know the cost up front

You can reach out to set up a visit or use online booking if that's easier. No games, no surprise fees.

Keeping your protection current with renewals and boosters

Termites don't take a year off, so your protection shouldn't either. After remediation, a termite renewal keeps your coverage active and gives us a reason to come back and check on things regularly. It's the difference between treating a problem once and staying ahead of it.

Booster services are for the in-between moments. If we see a new pressure point, a spot that needs reinforcing, or an area where the barrier has weakened, a booster refreshes protection without starting over. Think of it as topping off what's already working.

The cheapest termite job is the one you catch early. Regular checks beat a big repair bill every time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have termites?

Common signs include mud tubes on your foundation, hollow-sounding wood, small piles of discarded wings near windows, and bubbling or cracked paint. If you spot any of these, call for an inspection. We'll confirm whether it's active termites and show you where.

Do you charge for the inspection or estimate?

No. Inspections and estimates are free. You get a hands-on look at your home, an honest report on what we find, and a written price before you decide anything.

How long does termite remediation take?

It depends on the size of your home and how far the infestation has spread. Most treatments are completed in a day, and then we follow up to confirm the activity has stopped. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate.

What's the difference between a renewal and a booster service?

A renewal keeps your termite coverage active year over year and includes regular checks. A booster refreshes or reinforces protection in a specific area when we notice new pressure, without starting the whole treatment over.

Do you serve areas outside Montgomery?
