ABC Home & Commercial Services: Expert Termite Control & Termimesh® Installation in San Antonio, TX
ABC Home & Commercial Services provides specialized termite inspections, post-construction remediation, and "Physical Barrier" Termimesh installations for properties 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 family legacy with the industry’s most advanced chemical and physical barrier technologies to protect your structural investment from the subterranean termites that thrive in the South Texas basin.
The San Antonio Termite Threat: Protecting Your Equity
San Antonio is situated in a “Very Heavy” termite activity zone. Our local Subterranean Termites live in the moist soil beneath your home and build “mud tubes” to reach the wooden framing of your structure. Because they eat from the inside out, termite damage is often invisible until it becomes a catastrophic structural failure. At ABC, we move beyond simple “spot treatments” to provide a Total Structural Shield using both chemical and physical fortification.
Master-Level Termite Leadership: Steven Meyer
Our termite protection division is directed by Senior Branch Manager Steven Meyer who leads a team that prioritizes Structural Fortification. Under his leadership, ABC San Antonio provides the specialized Termimesh System—the gold standard for permanent, poison-free termite exclusion in new construction. Steven ensures that every treatment is applied with the precision required to create a continuous barrier that lasts for the life of the structure.
Termimesh®: The Ultimate Physical Barrier
For new construction projects in San Antonio, ABC is a leading provider of Termimesh. Unlike chemical barriers that eventually degrade or require re-application, Termimesh is a high-grade, marine-quality stainless steel mesh that is physically too small for termites to crawl through and too hard for them to chew.
- Slab Penetration Protection: Termimesh is fitted around all plumbing and electrical penetrations before the slab is poured, blocking the most common termite “highways.”
- Poison-Free Protection: As a physical barrier, Termimesh provides 24/7 protection without the need for chemical termiticides, making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious builders and families.
- Lifetime Integrity: Once installed by ABC’s certified technicians, the mesh becomes a permanent part of the home’s structure, offering a lifetime of subterranean defense.
Comprehensive Termite Solution Protocols
Our specialists provide a tiered defense for existing and new San Antonio homes:
- The Sentricon® System: A proactive baiting technology that eliminates the entire termite colony, including the queen.
- Liquid Soil Barriers: Utilizing advanced termiticides (like Termidor®) injected into the soil to create a lethal zone that termites cannot cross.
- New Construction Pre-Treatments: Coordinating soil barriers and Termimesh installation with your builder to meet Bexar County building codes and warranty requirements.
- Real Estate (WDI) Inspections: Providing the official Wood-Destroying Insect reports required for home sales and refinancing in San Antonio.
The “Structure-First” Termite Audit
Termites exploit the smallest gaps in your home’s “envelope.” Every service begins with a Structure-First Termite Audit. Championed by Steven Meyer, this audit identifies “conducive conditions” that attract termites, such as wood-to-ground contact, foam insulation below the grade line, or leaking outdoor faucets. We don’t just kill the termites; we help you eliminate the structural vulnerabilities that invite them back.
The Foundation Integrity Audit for Termite Defense
In San Antonio’s shifting clay soils, foundations frequently develop “hairline cracks” that are wide enough for a termite to enter. Every project includes a Foundation Integrity Audit. We inspect the “cold joints” where your plumbing enters the slab and the expansion joints in your masonry. We ensure that structural settling hasn’t breached your physical or chemical termite barrier, providing you with a data-driven assessment of your home’s subterranean security.

San Antonio Termite Control & New Construction FAQ
New construction disturbs the soil, often uncovering or stimulating existing subterranean termite colonies. A pre-treatment creates a protective barrier before the concrete slab is poured, ensuring termites cannot enter through plumbing penetrations or early-stage slab cracks. Under the direction of Steven Meyer, we coordinate directly with builders to ensure the treatment is timed perfectly for your construction schedule.
For qualifying homes, ABC offers a renewable termite warranty. This provides you with the peace of mind that if termites return, ABC will treat the area at no additional cost to you. It is a powerful asset for San Antonio homeowners looking to protect their property’s long-term resale value and structural equity.
Termimesh is primarily a “New Construction” solution because it must be integrated into the slab and plumbing penetrations during the build process. For existing San Antonio homes, Steven Meyer typically recommends a combination of the Sentricon® System and liquid soil barriers to create a post-construction structural shield.

“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.”
