Western Exterminator treats drywood and subterranean termites in Santa Barbara’s older coastal homes using different methods based on how each type behaves. Drywood termites, which live inside the wood, are often treated with localized applications or fumigation for more widespread infestations. Subterranean termites, which come from the soil, are typically treated with liquid applications around the foundation or baiting systems to target the colony. A professional inspection helps determine the termite type and the most effective treatment approach.

Preparing for termite treatment or fumigation in Santa Barbara depends on the method being used. For fumigation, you may need to vacate the home for a period of time and remove or seal food, medications, and certain household items. For other termite treatments, preparation may involve clearing access to foundation areas or moving items away from walls. Your technician will provide specific instructions to help ensure the treatment is completed safely and effectively.
