Termites are more than pesky nuisance insects. Because they eat the cellulose in wood, they can cause extensive damage throughout a home. It’s important to stop a termite infestation as soon as possible, and we can provide a free, no-obligation inspection to get you started.
Kilter Termite and Pest Control has more than 30 years of experience providing termite control services throughout Southern California. Our customers in Manhattan Beach may be more susceptible to infestations due to more heat and moisture in the area, but we can help you gain peace of mind by detecting and resolving your termite problems.

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.

To ensure that the treatment is being done properly, the homeowner should observe the treatment process. Unless the homeowner is chemically sensitive, there should not be any adverse health problems associated with a treatment done correctly. Ask questions of the pest control technicians. Keep track of how long it takes them to do the job.
-
Termites move randomly through the soil searching for a source of food (wood). They do not have the ability to know exactly where your house is. So, if your next-door neighbor treats his home for termites, your house isn’t automatically the termites’ next lunch. No, your house does not need to be treated; but, if there are active termite infestations in your neighborhood, it is a good idea to have it inspected.
-
The best thing you can do is to be involved and observant in the inspection process. For example if you request an inspection and the inspector doesn’t inspect obvious areas such as your garage, attic, basement, etc., then you may need to consult an additional company. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
