COMMON WARNING SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE A TERMITE INFESTATION

6 Major Warning Signs to Look for Inside Your home:

2. Termite holes tend to be tiny and high up on walls.
3. Sawdust in little piles.
4. Swarmer wings.
5. Mud tubes.

If a termite infestation is allowed to exist long enough, termites will do such severe damage that the entire structure of your home will start to sag.

Termite treatments for homes & businesses are not directly dangerous to humans, but it is a destructive species. They can collapse a building entirely, meaning possible financial ruin for a homeowner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ARE TERMITES DANGEROUS?

Not directly; however, subterranean termites are a destructive species. Termite damage can collapse a building entirely, meaning possible financial ruin for a homeowner. The hard, saw-toothed jaws of termites work like shears and are able to bite off extremely small fragments of wood, one piece at a time.

HOW DO YOU GET RID OF TERMITES?

Getting rid of termites is a very big task. They live in the ground as far away at 300 feet and cannot be exposed to the air, so treatment is time consuming. If the entire colony is not destroyed, they will keep coming back. Only termite control from an experienced California pest control company will be effective.

SO WHY DO I HAVE THEM?

Having termites is all about conducive conditions, such as wood to ground contact, poor drainage, etc. Older homes or homes that have had water damage also increase the likelihood of having a termite problem. A full inspection by one of our trained professionals can show you where these issues might be.
