Question 1

Are termites especially active in Friendswood?

Accepted Answer

Friendswood's position along Clear Creek and Coward Creek places it in a zone with consistently high subterranean termite pressure. The area's soil profile — sandy loam that allows easy termite tunneling — combined with the high water table near the creek corridors creates ideal conditions for large, aggressive colonies. Homes in Heritage Park and Clear Brook City that back up to drainage easements or wooded creek buffers face the highest risk. We recommend a Sentricon bait station system as a non-intrusive, always-active preventive measure.

Question 2

How do I deal with paper wasps nesting in my Friendswood eaves?

Accepted Answer

Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, in soffits, and around window frames — typically beginning in March and reaching maximum size by August. Friendswood's large single-story homes with broad eave overhangs provide ideal nesting sites. Treatment involves knockdown of active nests at dusk (when wasps are less active), followed by a residual treatment to discourage re-nesting. We treat all exposed wood surfaces on the exterior that wasps favor, reducing re-establishment rates significantly.

Question 3

Why does my Friendswood lawn seem to have fire ants no matter what I do?

Accepted Answer

Fire ants re-colonize treated areas rapidly because the surrounding environment always contains source colonies — in adjacent properties, drainage easements, and undeveloped buffers along Coward Creek. Mound treatments alone are a short-term fix. The most effective long-term program combines a broadcast bait application across your entire yard (which the worker ants carry back to kill the queens) with direct mound treatment of any active colonies. Done in spring and fall, this two-step approach dramatically reduces fire ant pressure.
