Different wood-destroying insects require specific solutions. Here are some of the common types often found in our surroundings.
LONESTAR’s wood-destroying insect (WDI) control service is designed to stop active infestations and prevent future damage. Through comprehensive inspections, targeted treatments, and long-term protection strategies, LONESTAR Pest Solutions safeguards your home or business from the costly risks posed by termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-damaging pests.
LONESTAR Pest Solutions thoroughly inspects your property to identify the type of wood-destroying insect, locate areas of activity, and assess the extent of any structural damage.
Using safe and effective methods, LONESTAR targets wood-destroying insects at their source, addressing both active infestations and hidden colonies to ensure long-lasting protection for your property.
After treatment, LONESTAR monitors the affected areas, provides preventive guidance, and applies additional measures if needed to keep wood-destroying insects from returning and causing further damage.
WDI activity increases as temperatures rise and moisture levels climb, prompting termites, carpenter ants, and carpenter bees to become active.
Termites begin swarming to establish new colonies.
Carpenter ants search for food and nesting sites in wood and damp areas.
Carpenter bees start boring into decks, eaves, and siding to create nesting tunnels.
Warm and humid conditions accelerate WDI activity and reproduction, increasing the risk of structural damage.
Termites and carpenter ants expand colonies and feeding tunnels.
Carpenter bees continue creating holes in exposed wood.
Powderpost beetle larvae actively feed inside wood, weakening furniture and structural timber.
As temperatures drop, some species seek shelter indoors and continue nesting activity.
Carpenter ants move deeper into homes for warmth.
Termites may stay active in heated structures, continuing to damage wood.
Finished carpenter bee nests leave entry holes that other pests may exploit.

Never mind his meticulously attention to detail inside my home is much appreciated. Both Theresa & Cameron are a valuable asset to Lone Star Pest. Call them!

Lonestar does our quarterly pest control and we had to call for re-spray of our kitchen due to these 100 plus degree temperature days. They sent Eddie over right away and he was so helpful telling me to pick up dog food every day, plug drains daily, use vinegar solution for drains, and make sure they always spray an area of the custom cabinets that has a gap between the cabinets and wall. He was the best! Really educated me and was so patient and even funny as I stared wide eyed over his knowledge of all things cockroaches.

Have used Lonestar for years for normal treatments inside and outside, but just recently used them for mosquito control prior to an outdoor graduation pool party. EXCELLENT RESULTS AND PHENOMENAL SERVICE! We had them do a general area fogging and then leave-behind portable remote controlled area “mister” — we haven’t seen a mosquito in two weeks!

We have used Richard’s team for years. Recently we learned our neighbor’s had termites. We contacted Lone Star to learn about our options. The solution provided was better than solutions our neighbors suggested. In fact, we learned of several pitfalls that our neighbors might encounter (beyond higher cost over the long term).
