Unless you live in Alaska, your home is a target for termites – which is one of nature’s most destructive pests. Termites have survived over 250 million years and can quickly adapt to changing environments. Central heating systems that have been installed in homes today can often allow termites to live in the adjacent soil year round.
Termites are always present in the soil surrounding your home. A typical lot surrounding a home can support three to four active colonies and each of those colonies can contain up to a million termites! So the threat of infestation is always present. Find out what you can do to help, because termites cause over a billion dollars in damage every year.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What should I do if I suspect a termite infestation in my home?
If you suspect a termite infestation, it's important to contact a professional pest control service for a thorough inspection and assessment to determine the best course of action.
-
Are there any natural methods for termite control?
Some natural methods for termite control include using nematodes, orange oil, and boric acid. However, it's important to consult with a professional for effective and long-term solutions.
-
How can I prevent termites from infesting my home?
To prevent termite infestation, it's important to keep woodpiles away from your home, fix any leaks or moisture issues, and ensure proper ventilation in crawl spaces.
-
What is the difference between a fumigation (tenting) and a Stay in Your Home termite treatment?
There are several differences, besides generally being more expensive a fumigation requires a ton of work by you before the tent even goes up. Here is a sample: You must bag or remove all fresh or opened food, open all drawers, cabinets, closets and doors, remove all plants and pets, remove or bag all medicines and personal products, bag or remove anything that you may ever ingest in the future, clear a 2-3 foot area around the exterior of your home and soak it with water, arrange for your gas to be shut off the day before and re-connected the day after your fumigation, leave your home for 2-3 days and mentally prepare for a few broken roof tiles as workers must walk on your roof to properly hang the tent. All of this and the moment the tent is removed, there is nothing to stop flying termites from re-entering your home. Fumigations also do not treat subterranean termites which is one of the 2 types of termites CA homeowners usually deal with. Our “No Moving Out” termite treatment Kilguard covers both drywood and subterranean termites.
-
How long does your treatment last?
In most cases, our “Stay in Your Home” termite treatments have a 7 year residual life.
-
Is your treatment better then Orange Oil?
We looked into Orange Oil several years ago but decided against using it. It has a very short residual life, plus termites can easily detect it so they just move away or around it and re-establish their colony in another part of your home.
-
What do I need to do to prepare for a treatment?
Not a lot! Just make sure all the areas we need to treat are accessible, and keep the kids and pets away from those areas for a couple hours after we finish.
-
What happens after my 2 year warranty expires?
Your warranty is extendable. We will contact you 30-90 days before your warranty expires and give you the option to extend it. If you decide to extend it, we will service another full inspection and re-treat any areas needed.
-
Seriously?
Yes! Let’s say we find and treat termites in your attic, but 8 months later you notice possible termite activity in your downstairs bathroom – No Problem, give us a call and we will come treat at no charge since your whole home is under warranty.
-
What is your warranty?
We have an amazing warranty of 2 years. But the best part is, no matter what part of your home we originally treat, YOUR WHOLE HOME IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 2 FULL YEARS!!
-
How much does it cost?
Our inspections are free. Treatment cost depends on the size of your home and the type of termites our inspector finds.Â
-
Why Quarterly service instead of Monthly or Bi-Monthly?
Our pest control chemicals and the barrier our technicians create generally last for 90-120 days. Monthly or every other month service is normally overkill. No need to spray extra chemicals around your home and pay for extra serivce if it’s not needed plus our Quarterly service plan comes with free services calls in-between visits so if you need us earlier then expected, just call us and we will come treat for no charge?
