Why Termite Inspections Are Critical for Frisco Homeowners

Termites are one of the most destructive pests in the U.S., causing over $5 billion in property damage each year. Unfortunately, Frisco, TX is no exception. Thanks to our warm, humid climate and expanding residential neighborhoods, subterranean termites are a growing threat to local homes.

In this post, we’ll explain why annual termite inspections are essential, what to expect, and how Green Guard Pest Control helps protect homes across North Texas.

🐛 Why Termites Are a Big Problem in Frisco

Frisco’s rapid development and new home construction have unintentionally created ideal termite habitats. Soil disruption, wooden framing, and landscaping near foundations offer termites everything they need: food, shelter, and moisture.

Here’s why termites love Frisco:

• Mild winters allow colonies to remain active year-round

• Mulch, tree roots, and wood-to-soil contact invite infestation

• Moisture from irrigation systems and drainage issues draws them in

And because termites work silently behind walls or under floors, many infestations go undetected for months—or even years.

🏠 The Cost of Skipping a Termite Inspection

You might think your newer home is safe—but even homes less than 5 years old can be at risk. Termites don’t discriminate.

What’s at stake if you skip inspections:

• Structural damage to joists, studs, subfloors, and support beams

• Reduced home value (especially during resale or refinance)

• High repair costs—homeowners insurance typically doesn’t cover termite damage

• Increased spread to nearby properties or units (if in a townhome or HOA community)

🛑 Bottom line: The earlier you detect termites, the cheaper and easier they are to eliminate.

🔍 What Happens During a Termite Inspection

At Green Guard Pest Control, our termite inspections are quick, non-invasive, and highly effective.

Here’s what we check:

• Exterior foundation walls for mud tubes

• Wooden structures like decks, fences, and crawlspaces

• Interior walls, baseboards, and attics for signs of tunneling or damage

• Moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms

We use proven detection methods and no-obligation reports—so you know where your home stands.

🛡️ Prevention Is Better (and Cheaper) Than Treatment

If your home is termite-free, that’s great—but it’s still at risk without protection.

We recommend:

• Annual termite inspections

• Installing bait systems around the perimeter

• Reducing excess moisture and sealing entry points

• Pre-treatment for new construction or remodeling projects

💡 Pro tip: Green Guard offers affordable termite prevention plans starting under $30/month.
