Termite Control in Manhattan Beach 

The KILGUARD System for Termite Control 

With most companies, fumigation is the only option they’ll provide when they detect termites in your home. This forces you to leave your residence and pay additional money for alternative accommodations. However, you'll have an alternative when you turn to Kilter Termite and Pest Control. 

Most termite infestations are compatible with the KILGUARD system, a more targeted and direct approach to termite control in Manhattan Beach. Completed in hours instead of days, the KILGUARD system can control drywood and subterranean termites when our professionally trained technicians treat the affected parts of your home. 

This service also comes with a two-year warranty upon completion, so you can rest assured that help is around the corner in the unlikely event that your termite problem returns. 

How to Tell If Your Home Has Termites 

Termites feed on wood and can compromise the structural integrity of homes and buildings. Recognizing the signs of a termite infestation early on is crucial for preventing costly repairs. 

Below are some common signs that termites may be present in your home: 

• Mud tubes on walls or foundations: Termites build these pencil-thin tunnels to protect themselves while traveling between their colony and food sources.
• Wood damage: Hollow-sounding wood or wood that easily crumbles can indicate termites have eaten away from the inside.
• Discarded wings: After swarming, termites shed their wings, often leaving piles of them around windows, doors, or other entry points.
• Frass (termite droppings): These tiny, wood-colored pellets can accumulate in piles near termite-infested wood.
• Buckling paint or wallpaper: As termites consume the wood beneath surfaces, paint or wallpaper may blister or appear warped.
• Headbanging noises: Termites often make soft clicking sounds or bang their heads against wood, which can be heard if the infestation is large enough.
• Swarmers (winged termites): Seeing swarms of winged termites, especially around lights or windows, is a clear indication of a nearby colony. 

If you notice these signs, contact Kilter Termite and Pest Control for a complimentary and thorough inspection. We can also explain our services and how the KILGUARD system for termite control in Manhattan Beach can protect your home and family.
