ABC Home & Commercial Services: Professional Termite Control in San Antonio, TX
ABC Home & Commercial Services provides expert termite inspections, colony elimination, and long-term structural protection for existing homes throughout San Antonio. Locally owned and operated since 1949, ABC is led by owner Bobby Jenkins and Senior Branch Manager Steven Meyer. We combine a 75-year Texas legacy with advanced termiticide technology to stop active infestations and fortify your home’s foundation against the subterranean termites that threaten San Antonio’s property values.
The San Antonio Termite Threat: Protecting Your Structural Equity
In San Antonio, termites aren’t a matter of “if,” but “when.” Our region sits in a high-pressure zone for Subterranean Termites, which live in the soil and can enter a home through a gap as thin as 1/32nd of an inch. Because these pests consume cellulose from the inside out, they often remain undetected until significant structural damage has occurred. At ABC, we move beyond “spot treatments” to provide a Total Structural Shield that targets the colony at its source.
Master-Level Termite Leadership: Steven Meyer
Our termite remediation program is overseen by Senior Branch Manager Steven Meyer who leads a team that views termite control as a structural engineering challenge. Under his leadership, ABC San Antonio utilizes the Sentricon® System and high-performance liquid barriers. Steven ensures that every technician is trained to identify “conducive conditions”—the structural vulnerabilities that invite termites—ensuring your treatment is both curative and preventative.
Comprehensive Termite Solution Protocols
Our specialists provide the two gold-standard methods of termite defense for existing Bexar County homes:
- Sentricon® System with Always Active™ Technology: A series of discreet bait stations installed around your home’s perimeter. This system is designed to be shared by foraging termites, eventually reaching and eliminating the entire colony, including the queen.
- Liquid Barrier Treatments: Utilizing professional-grade termiticides (such as Termidor®) injected into the soil along your foundation. This creates a lethal zone that termites cannot cross, providing immediate protection for the home’s “Mechanical Envelope.”
- Annual Termite Inspections: A proactive “Structure-First” audit to detect early signs of activity, such as mud tubes or discarded swarmer wings, before they lead to expensive repairs.
- WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) Reports: Professional documentation required for real estate transactions and refinancing in the San Antonio area.
The “Structure-First” Termite Audit
Effective termite control requires a deep understanding of your home’s construction. Every service begins with a Structure-First Termite Audit. Championed by Steven Meyer, this audit identifies where your home is most vulnerable—such as wood-to-ground contact, unsealed plumbing penetrations, or “moisture traps” created by leaking outdoor faucets. We don’t just treat the insects; we identify the structural paths they use to enter your home.
The Foundation Integrity Audit for Subterranean Defense
In San Antonio’s shifting clay soils, foundations frequently develop small cracks that serve as “Pest Highways.” Every project includes a Foundation Integrity Audit. We inspect the “cold joints” and expansion gaps in your masonry to ensure your termite barrier remains continuous despite the natural shifting of the South Texas earth. We fortify your foundation line to ensure it remains a solid, inhospitable barrier against subterranean invaders.

San Antonio Termite Control FAQ
Look for “Mud Tubes” (pencil-sized tubes made of soil) climbing your foundation, discarded wings near windowsills, or wood that sounds hollow when tapped. Because San Antonio is in a “Heavy Pressure” zone, Steven Meyer recommends a professional Structure-First Audit the moment you suspect activity.
Baiting (like Sentricon®) is designed to eliminate the entire colony by using the termites’ foraging behavior against them. Liquid barriers provide a localized chemical shield in the soil to prevent entry. Under the direction of Steven Meyer, we help you choose the system that best fits your home’s construction and your environmental preferences.
Typically, no. Most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage or treatment. This makes a warrantied protection plan from ABC a critical financial safeguard for your property’s structural equity.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Steve G
“We have been using ABC's services for a little over a month, including lawn mowing, aeration, composting, and fertilization. We also had our gutters cleaned. Prices for their services are reasonable and comparable to other providers we have used in the past. Where ABC stands out is in their customer service and communication. The quality of their services so far has been excellent. Their staff is professional and friendly. Everyone we have dealt with to date, from sales reps to customer service personnel to onsite techs, have been helpful and responsive. It's easy to get the right party on the phone when you have a question or want to tweak a service. Their online customer portal and phone app make it easy to keep up with the status of contracted services and appointments. On appointment days you can track the status of your service tech through arrival and they always provide follow up text messages from the technician to notify you when work is completed. They also send follow up e-mails providing before and after photos of the job. Another plus of utilizing ABC is the broad range of services they provide. We are looking forward to transitioning other home care and maintenance services under their umbrella.”

“Very pleased with ABCs one time lawn mowing service. The crew was well equipped and managed. My lawn was cut and edged to my picky satisfaction and they bagged the lawn clippings. I have an oversized lot, so the price was very reasonable. I personally recommend their service and I will hire them again.”
