Texas has three main termite types: Eastern subterranean termites (most common, found statewide), Formosan subterranean termites (aggressive species in Southeast Texas and coastal areas), and drywood termites (found in attics and furniture, mainly in South and Coastal Texas). Each requires different treatment approaches.

Termites are found throughout Texas, but subterranean termites are especially active in the eastern and southern regions with higher moisture levels. The Gulf Coast and East Texas have the highest termite pressure, including aggressive Formosan termites. Regardless of location, annual inspections are recommended for all Texas homeowners.
