Termite Control Experts in the Central Valley & East Bay/Tri-Valley
Professional Termite Control and Treatment Solutions
Our team specializes in professional termite inspections and customized termite control treatments designed to eliminate active infestations and reduce the risk of recurring termite activity. After completing a thorough inspection, we tailor your treatment plan based on the type of termite identified and the extent of the infestation. Because every situation is different, treatment may include non-repellent solutions, targeted chemical applications, or fumigation to effectively defend against pests returning.
Termite Inspections
Termites live under the ground and behind the walls, making it difficult to find them. Their colonies are small, widely dispersed, and can take a long time to mature, which makes it all the more difficult to detect their presence until they put the structural integrity of a property at stake. If you see any of the following signs in your home, schedule a termite inspection immediately because most insurance plans don’t cover the damage caused by termites:
- Trails on walls or ceilings that look like mud
- Piles near wooden surfaces or walls that resemble sawdust
- Mud-tubes on or under wooden structures
- Swarms of winged insects emerging from woodpiles, walls, porches, and patios
- Wood-colored droppings

Inspection
An inspection is scheduled with one of our licensed and trained termite inspectors. The inspector inspects the interiors, exteriors and every visible and accessible area of the structure to identify signs of termite activity, dry rot, moisture damage, leaks, fungus, and other conditions that may indicate damage or a termite infestation. A comprehensive written report is prepared with a diagram of the structure, along with detailed findings and recommendations. This report is typically delivered by the end of the next business day along with an estimate for repairs, corrections or treatments.
Identification and Detection
Our termite inspectors can efficiently determine the type of termite your home is infested with. They use different devices and techniques to detect infestations and identify termite types. The most common termite species found in structures in California are subterranean termites and drywood termites. Dampwood termites require a high moisture content to survive and are normally found in wood stored on the ground. Like all other termites, swarmers are attracted to light. Subterranean termites and drywood termites both swarm on a sunny day after the first heavy rains in the spring or fall.
Fecal pellets are also used for identifying different termite species. Infestations that are difficult to detect may require removal of wall panels and stucco. Other detection methods include the use of fiber-optical devices and acoustic emission devices.
Treatment
Our termite control plan is customized depending on the type of termites you are dealing with.
- Our technicians treat subterranean termites using a liquid termiticide that is injected or applied to the soil beneath the structure, along the foundation and around the affected areas.
- A foam termiticide may also be injected into the wall voids.
- For drywood termites and powder post beetles, fumigation is our primary recommendation as it the most effective option for total termite eradication in any structure.
- In some cases where fumigation does not seem feasible, a localized treatment may also be possible.
We get to the root cause of the problem using advanced products and proven techniques that eliminate termite colonies and give you complete peace of mind. To keep termites from destroying wooden structures and deteriorating your property, we recommend a thorough termite inspection every 2 years.

How do I know if I have termites?
Common signs of termites include mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, bubbling paint and discarded wings. However, because termites often stay hidden inside walls or wood, many infestations go unnoticed until damage has already started. The easiest and most reliable way to detect termite activity is with a professional termite inspection.
How do you get rid of termites?
The best way to get rid of termites is with a customized treatment plan, based on the type of termite and the extent of the infestation. Depending on the situation, treatment may include liquid or foam termiticide treatments or fumigation. Our termite experts can recommend the safest and most effective options for your home or business.
If I have termites, do I have to move out for treatment?
Most termite treatments do not require you to move out of your home, and in many cases, localized treatments can be implemented. In the event that whole-structure fumigation is needed, you will need to leave the premises temporarily until the treatment is completed and wait until the property is approved for re-entry. Learn more about the process at www.FumigationFacts.com
Will I need to have my house fumigated?
Not always, many termite infestations can be treated without fumigation using localized treatments. However, for dry wood termites and powder post beetles, fumigation might be the most effective option to eradicate infestation and protect structures. After a professional inspection from our licensed and certified technician, we can tell you whether fumigation is necessary or if a targeted treatment option will work.
