Termites in California

There’s a reason why people fear termites so much - their wood-eating habits can cause severe damage to your home or business. The scary thing is you may not know they are munching on your property. Termites in California are widespread due to the readily available wood and temperate weather, which is why you need to take extra precautions to ensure any activity is caught before it becomes worse.

Certain kinds of termites are more common in California. Take time to learn about them here and find out what to do if you think you have a termite infestation. Western Exterminator has the solutions you need to eliminate termites and preserve your premises. If you suspect your building is being infested by termites, contact us today to set up a termite inspection and you’ll be on the way to getting rid of your dilemma.

Types of termites in California

In order to fight termites, you need to find out a little more about types of termites that are present in the Golden State. Subterranean and drywood termites are most common. Subterranean termites usually live in soil, and drywood termites typically live in dry wood, such as decks and lumber. Drywood species are more widespread in the southern part of California.

To get more specific, subterranean termites of the genus Reticulitermes are highly active in California, and so are desert subterranean termites in the Sonoran Desert. Subterranean termites swarm after rain. They are not as active when the temperature is cold. Also, if you live in San Diego, be wary of the Formosan subterranean termite. These termites are located in the San Diego area and can create large colonies and inflict a lot of damage within a short period of time.

Getting regular termite inspections is incredibly important in order to keep your California home or business safe. This necessitates a professional who is well-versed in the inspection process. Western Exterminator experts know how to conduct termite inspections accurately, checking for all wood-destroying organisms.

When it comes to a real estate property being sold, it is not a California law requirement that a termite inspection take place - but a lender will typically require it. Western Exterminator can provide the necessary inspection so you can see which, if any, kinds of fixes need to be done to the place you are selling. If you are purchasing a property, it is a wise choice to get an inspection as well, and Western provides this service too.
