See how Western Exterminator gets rid of termites in and around your home.
Termite fumigation is the most powerful way to get rid of termites in your home.
Termite inspections are the first step in removing termites from your property.
Learning how to prevent termites can save you long term from expensive property damage.
Once a termite infestation is established, it can be hard to get rid of. Homeowners are often tempted to try DIY termite removal methods, but if a few termites or the termite queen are missed, another infestation can quickly form.
At Western, we have a variety of termite treatment methods. Our termite treatment methods and cost of service can vary depending on the factors listed below.
After a thorough inspection of your property, your termite Technician will recommend one or more of the following treatment methods.
Designed to eliminate subterranean and Formosan termite colonies, this treatment exploits termite biology and behavior. Bait stations are installed around the perimeter of your home and worker termites take and transfer the bait to the nest.
Home fumigation is the most invasive, but most effective, termite treatment – particularly for drywood termites. Termite fumigation involves tenting your home and then filling the tent with fumigant that will penetrate deep into the wood to wipe out the infestation.
Safe for children and pets both indoors and out, liquid treatments are applied to the soil along the outer foundation wall of your home. Sometimes, the treatment will kill the termites on contact, but if not, termites will spread the treatment when they bring it back to the colony.
Most home insurance policies do not cover termite damage, and it is estimated that one in four properties will be attacked by termites. Our Termite Home Protection Plan is a structural home timber replacement warranty that protects you from potentially expensive repair bills and is backed by Western Exterminator, not a third party.
We stand by the quality of our work and are confident in our experience and expertise to defend your property from termites. Western Exterminator’s Termite Home Protection Plan acts as termite insurance against damage caused by termites* for your peace of mind.
Your property may be eligible for the Termite Home Protection Plan after Western Exterminator has:
Depending on the geographic location and condition of the property, structures will need to be inspected and assessed individually for optimum protection against termite attacks. The Western Exterminator termite warranty can be transferred to future owners of the property.
* Terms & conditions apply, please contact your local office for more details.
The most effective termite treatment will depend on what type of termite species you have on your property, your property location and type, and the size of the infestation. Generally speaking, bait stations and liquid treatments are effective control methods for subterranean termites and Formosan termites, while home fumigation works well for drywood termites. Overall, home fumigation is the most invasive, but the most effective.

Working with a professional pest control company like Western Exterminator is the best way to completely get rid of termites. Our licensed Technicians are local to the areas they service and are very knowledgeable on the different species of termites in the western U.S. Your Technician will know the best treatment methods to permanently get rid of termites and ensure they do not return.
We do not recommend trying to get rid of termites on your own. DIY termite control methods are ineffective as they do not eliminate the entire termite colony. Some DIY termite control methods can cause termites to move to different areas of your property, which can cause more property damage, resulting in more money out of your wallet. DIY methods are often unreliable, not guaranteed to work, and can even be dangerous if chemicals are misused.
