Termite Protection for Elgin, Lawton &
Southwest Oklahoma
Termites are one of the most serious threats to homes in Oklahoma. Eastern subterranean termites live in large colonies underground and travel through hidden mud tubes to feed on structural wood, trim, flooring, and even paper-based materials. Because they work behind the scenes, many homeowners don’t realize there’s a problem until damage is extensive.
Boots Pest & Weed Control provides professional termite inspections, customized treatments, and ongoing protection plans for homes in Elgin, Lawton, Fort Sill, and the Oklahoma City area. Whether you’ve spotted suspicious mud tubes or know termites are common in your neighborhood, we can help you understand your risk and build a plan that fits your home and budget.

Termites in Southwest Oklahoma – How They Attack Homes
Subterranean termites live in the soil and maintain contact with moisture as they move to and from your home. Common risk factors in our region include:
- Wood-to-soil contact at steps, posts, or siding
- Excess moisture around foundations from poor drainage or leaky spigots
- Mulch or heavy landscaping beds against the house
- Cracks in slab foundations or expansion joints that provide hidden entry points
Termites can feed on structural beams, sill plates, flooring, door frames, trim, and more. Over time, they can weaken important components and cause costly repairs if left untreated.
Comprehensive Termite Inspections
Our inspection process is designed to locate current activity and highlight conditions that need attention. Your technician will:
- Examine interior and exterior foundation walls for mud tubes and damage
- Check crawl spaces, garages, and accessible structural wood where possible
- Inspect window and door frames, baseboards, and trim for signs of tunneling or hollowing
- Look for evidence of previous treatments or old damage
- Identify moisture issues, drainage problems, or wood-to-soil contact points
We’ll review our findings with you, answer your questions, and provide a clear recommendation—whether that’s immediate treatment, preventive options, or ongoing monitoring.
Termite Treatment Options Tailored to Your Home
Depending on your construction type, soil conditions, and level of activity, we may recommend:
- Liquid soil treatments – Applied around the perimeter to create a treated zone termites can’t bypass without being affected. This is a time-tested method for protecting the structure.
- Termite baiting systems – Installed in the ground around your home to monitor termite activity and deliver bait that termites carry back to the colony.
- Localized spot treatments – Used on specific, accessible areas where activity is found, sometimes in conjunction with broader treatments.
We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option and help you choose the approach that provides the best protection for your particular home.
Ongoing Monitoring & Peace of Mind
Because termites are widespread in our area, many homeowners choose ongoing termite protection rather than one-and-done treatments. With a protection plan in place, you benefit from:
- Regular inspections and monitoring
- Maintenance of any baiting or soil treatment systems
- Early detection of new termite pressure
- Clear documentation for peace of mind—and for future resale conversations
Termite protection can also be paired with our general pest services, giving you comprehensive coverage above and below ground.

Termite Control FAQs
What are the most common termites in Southwest Oklahoma?
Eastern subterranean termites are the primary species we encounter. They live in colonies underground and travel to your home in mud tubes.
How do I know if I have termites or just ants with wings?
Termite swarmers and winged ants can look similar. Termites have straight antennae, uniform wings, and a more uniform waist, while ants have bent antennae, different-sized wings, and a pinched waist. If you’re unsure, save a sample or take a photo and we’ll identify it.
What are signs that I might have termites?
Mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, unexplained bubbling or blistering paint, and piles of discarded wings from swarms are common indicators.
Will a termite treatment disrupt my yard or landscaping?
We do our best to minimize disturbance. Liquid treatments may involve trenching or drilling in certain areas around the foundation, and bait systems involve installing stations in the soil. We’ll explain exactly what’s involved before we begin.
How long do termite treatments last?
That depends on the method used and conditions around your home. We’ll go over expected durability and what kind of ongoing monitoring is recommended to ensure continued protection.
Can I combine termite protection with general pest control and lawn services?
Yes. Many homeowners choose bundled options that cover termite protection, general pest control, and weed/lawn care, giving them one local company responsible for protecting the structure, the interior, and the yard.
Do I really need termite protection if I’ve never seen termites?
In a high-risk region like ours, termites may be present long before you see obvious signs. Protection is like insurance for your home’s structure—it’s much easier and more cost-effective to prevent damage than to repair it.
