Elite Termite Guard handles termite control calls throughout Shavano Park TX from our base at 8619 Honiley St in 78254. The neighborhood mixes 1970s brick homes on larger lots with some newer builds along Lockhill Selma Road. Subterranean termites move easily through the area's clay soils and around mature live oaks that sit close to foundations.
We treat both pre-construction and existing homes here by drilling where needed and applying bait stations along fence lines and tree roots. Heavy spring rains followed by summer heat push termite activity higher in Shavano Park, so we schedule follow-up checks after major storms to catch new mud tubes before they reach crawl spaces or slabs.
Access is straightforward on most streets but some properties back up to drainage easements that stay damp longer than the rest of the block. Our crews know which cul-de-sacs require extra care with liquid barriers to keep treatments from running off during the next rain.

Termite Control in Shavano Park TX — Local Notes
- •Clay soils common in Shavano Park expand and crack during dry spells, creating easy entry points for subterranean termites along foundation edges.
- •Mature oak trees planted near 1970s-era homes often send roots under slabs, requiring bait stations placed directly along those root lines rather than standard perimeter spacing.
- •Low spots near Huebner Road and local drainage ditches hold moisture longer, so we increase the volume of termiticide in those zones to maintain a continuous barrier after heavy rains.
- •Many homes here have attached garages with expansion joints that need separate drilling and treatment to stop termites from traveling from the main structure.
