Proven Termite Control

To address active termite infestations and prevent new termite colonies from developing, Marathon Pest Control installs the Sentricon® System, an eco-friendly termite baiting solution, around the perimeter of homes and other structures. Each baiting station is designed to intercept termites actively searching for food. After they feed on the bait in the stations, they’ll also carry it back to the colony, exposing the entire population to the lethal material. The result is the total elimination of the whole termite colony – including the queen!

Marathon's Termite Re-Treatment Warranty

When you sign up for termite control with Marathon Pest Control, you can count on our local pest control company to keep these wood-destroying pests away. We’re so confident in our service that we offer a renewable and transferrable termite re-treatment warranty - all you have to do to keep it valid is schedule an annual termite inspection!

Frequently Asked Questions

Termite Control FAQs

What attracts termites?

Subterranean termites are drawn to properties that provide moisture, including leaky pipes, poor drainage, or areas with high humidity. They’re also attracted to mulch, dead trees, firewood, and even water-damaged wood inside the structure. Finally, where there’s soil-to-wood contact, there’s a risk for termite activity.

What are the signs of termites?

Signs of subterranean termites in Texas include:

  • Mud tubes on walls, foundations, and beams, as well as in crawl spaces.
  • Flying termites, also called swarmers, may appear in the yard or inside the home.
  • Piles of tiny, translucent wings around doors, windows, or other entry points are the discarded wings of termite swarmers. They appear after a swarm.
  • Damaged wood may look intact on the surface but will have hollowed-out sections inside, often with grooves that run along the grain.
  • As termites eat through wood, they can create a blistered or warped look, like water damage. This often affects baseboards, door frames, floors, and walls.

Is it okay for kids and pets to play near bait stations?

Yes. The stations are placed in the ground with only a service cover visible and require a special key to open. In addition, the active ingredient used in the Sentricon® System is explicitly designed to disrupt the molting process that occurs only in insects and closely related organisms, not people or pets.

They always address all my concerns and keep the bugs out of my house. They are definitely worth having to take care of your pest control needs. I have noticed a huge difference since we started the service almost 3 years ago. The guys that come out are very knowledgeable and respectful. They are speedy when they come. And I appreciate that they always text me to remind me that they are coming and then the day of they will text 30 minutes before they arrive.
