Termite Inspection Company in Long Beach, CA

What Happens After Your Termite Inspection

Once the inspection is complete, our Long Beach termite inspectors will explain the findings clearly and provide you with a transparent bid for treatment options.

KILFOAM™ 

When the infestation is limited to specific areas and drywood termites, KILFOAM™ may be recommended as a localized treatment option. This method targets affected spaces within structural wood and other problem areas without treating the entire home.

KILGUARD™

For homes that need a more comprehensive approach, KILGUARD™ may be the better fit. This treatment addresses termite activity beyond a single isolated area and provides wider protection throughout the structure.

Full-Tent Fumigation

When termite activity is extensive or spread throughout the home, full-tent fumigation may be necessary. In those situations, fumigation can offer the most effective way to treat the entire structure at once.

How High Is the Termite Risk to Local Homes? What You Should Know.

Long Beach includes some of the oldest housing stock in Los Angeles County. Neighborhoods like Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, and Park Estates are full of character-rich older homes that are also more susceptible to drywood and subterranean termite activity. The city's proximity to the coast means humidity levels that subterranean termites favor.

California is home to over 23 identified termite species, and the two most destructive, Western drywood termites and Western subterranean termites, are both active throughout Long Beach year-round.

Kilter Termite and Pest Control inspectors know this area. We service Long Beach regularly and understand the local construction styles, soil conditions, and termite pressures specific to this part of Los Angeles County.

Signs You Need to Call Us for a Termite Inspection

Termite activity is often easy to miss until the damage becomes more extensive.

• Discarded wings near windows or doors: Termites shed their wings after finding a place to nest. Wings around entry points or windowsills can be a sign of a nearby infestation.
• Wood that sounds hollow or feels weak: If wood trim, flooring, or other wooden features sound hollow when tapped or seem unusually fragile, an inspection is worth scheduling.
• Mud tubes along walls or crawl spaces: Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel. These tunnels are one of the most common warning signs around the exterior of the home.
• Tight-fitting doors or windows: Moisture from termite activity can cause wood to swell, making doors and windows harder to open or close. 
• Bubbling paint or distorted wood surfaces: Wood damaged by termites can cause paint to look uneven or blistered. Surfaces may also appear warped or slightly sunken.
• Frass or droppings near wooden structures: Drywood termites leave behind tiny pellets that can collect near baseboards, windows, doors, or other wooden elements.
