Is termite control worth it in Smithwick, TX?
For termite control in Smithwick, ACI inspects the foundation, slab edges, and any wood-to-ground contact, then matches a treatment to what's found and to how the home is built. Termites work quietly, so catching them early in Burnet County is what protects your biggest investment.
Termite protection for Smithwick
Smithwick stretches for miles along Ranch Road 1431 between Marble Falls and the upper end of Lake Travis, so homes here sit on wooded acreage and river-bottom ranches rather than tight lots. Hickory Creek and Post Oak Creek thread the limestone hills, and the Colorado River bends past Shaffer Bend and Turkey Bend nearby. All that brush, creek bottom, and quiet water gives scorpions, spiders, rodents, and mosquitoes cover right up to the house. Subterranean termites move up through the soil into slab and pier-and-beam homes alike, and the Hill Country's wet-then-dry cycles keep them active. ACI Pest & Lawn Solutions serves Smithwick and the Highland Lakes, and we stand behind our termite work with a service guarantee.
Thorough inspection first
Every termite job starts with a detailed inspection of the foundation, slab edges, crawl space, and any wood that contacts soil. We look for active mud tubes, swarmer evidence, and the conditions around your Smithwick home that invite termites in the first place.
Treatment matched to your home
There's no single termite treatment that fits every house. Depending on what we find and how your home is built, whether that's slab, pier-and-beam, or later additions, we build a plan to stop active colonies and keep new ones from establishing.
Safe, IPM-driven application
We apply with the same minimal-chemical, IPM approach we use across our services, and our technicians explain exactly what's being done and any steps to take before and after treatment.
Standing behind the work
Termites are a specialty service, and we stand behind our treatments. Ask about the service guarantee that comes with termite work in Smithwick. Catching activity early and keeping protection current is what keeps a small problem from becoming structural.
Serving Smithwick and the surrounding Highland Lakes, including Marble Falls, Spicewood, Cottonwood Shores, Meadowlakes, and Horseshoe Bay.
Smithwick pest & lawn calendar, month by month
Pests around Smithwick follow the Hill Country seasons. Here is what tends to show up through the year, and what we focus on each month to stay ahead of it.
- JanuaryQuietest stretch. Good time for rodent exclusion before spring, since cool weather pushes mice toward warm homes in the oak country.
- FebruaryAnts and scorpions hold in warm rock and slab voids on mild days. The bottoms stay damp, so spiders linger in sheltered spots.
- MarchTermite swarmers emerge on warm days after rain, common in the river-bottom country, while ants forage and scorpions wake in the rock.
- AprilMosquitoes pick up early in the Pedernales bottoms and stock tanks. Fire ants reappear and scorpions grow active in the uplands.
- MayMosquitoes settle into the shaded, damp low spots. Fire ant mounds and scorpion activity climb; pre-emergent should already be down.
- JuneMosquito pressure holds in the bottoms and under the oak canopy. Scorpions and spiders are fully active around homes.
- JulyPeak pressure. Scorpions and spiders work the rock and brush, and mosquitoes stay heavy wherever shade and water meet in the savanna.
- AugustMosquitoes, scorpions, and spiders stay high. Lawn weeds push in wherever the oak canopy thins, so feeding and spot weed control matter.
- SeptemberLate rains keep mosquitoes around the bottoms. Rodents and spiders begin moving toward warm homes as nights cool.
- OctoberThe move indoors. Mice, rats, and spiders head for warm walls and attics; scorpions seek shelter, and fall pre-emergent goes down.
- NovemberRodent pressure peaks as cold fronts arrive. A treated, sealed perimeter keeps them from settling in for the winter.
- DecemberOutdoor activity quiets, but indoor rodents stay active. The right month to plan exclusion and lock in next year's program.

Best Termite Control in Smithwick, TX
Why ACI Is the Best Termite Control in Smithwick
We run two Highland Lakes offices, Kingsland and Marble Falls, so a Smithwick call goes to a technician who already works from Shaffer Bend Recreation Area to Turkey Bend Recreation Area, not a dispatcher reading off a map. Smithwick stretches for miles along Ranch Road 1431 between Marble Falls and the upper end of Lake Travis, so homes here sit on wooded acreage and river-bottom ranches rather than tight lots. Hickory Creek and Post Oak Creek thread the limestone hills, and the Colorado River bends past Shaffer Bend and Turkey Bend nearby. All that brush, creek bottom, and quiet water gives scorpions, spiders, rodents, and mosquitoes cover right up to the house.
That local knowledge is backed by our service guarantee: if pests return between your scheduled termite control visits in Smithwick, contact us and we'll re-treat at no additional charge. It's what keeps homeowners across Hickory Creek, Elm Grove, Smithwick Mills, and the rest of Smithwick on the schedule.

“ACI has provided pest control services for us for years. They are extremely knowledgeable, as in all of that time, we have NEVER experienced any pests, and we've ALWAYS been thrilled with their service. Most recently, we needed a significant termite treatment done before workers started forming for a slab. The crew had been out a few months before to survey and quote the work, but I wasn't able to give them much notice. They juggled schedules and were able to do this work the next day, a tremendous testament to the customer focus this team has. You will not regret calling ACI!”
