Drywood Termite Treatment & Control

Unlike subterranean termites, Drywood termites don’t require any connection to the ground, instead of living in isolated colonies in walls, floors, or other wood areas in your home or business. Aside from fumigation, our primary method for removing Drywood termites consists of combining Termidor SC with the foam method of eradication, injecting the product into the affected area and allowing it to expand to all sides of the colony. This method allows for comprehensive, complete eradication of the termite infestation. We also offer orange oil treatment, which allows you to stay in your home throughout the entire treatment process.

Subterranean Termite Treatment & Control

Subterranean termites live underground, making their way into your home or building from underneath the structure. This makes subterranean termites extremely difficult to detect in your home. With our free termite inspections, you can know right away whether you have termites in your home. If we find them, we have several options for eradication, including slab injection and trench and treat. We utilize TermidorSC to eradicate the termites, with its slow-acting ability allowing termites to infect one another until the whole colony is taken care of.

FAQ

Common Termite Questions

Drywood termites live entirely inside wood — attics, walls, framing — without needing soil contact, and form isolated pockets you can often spot from pellets (frass). Subterranean termites live in soil and build mud tubes up into the structure; they can cause faster, broader damage. Both are treatable with our local methods; we identify which you have during your free inspection.

Yes. We use Termidor SC with targeted foam injection and orange oil — there is no tenting, no gas, and no need to move out. Treated areas are dry and safe shortly after application. We’re happy to walk you through the product labels before we start.

  • Fumigation available upon request or if recommended

Most local drywood treatments take a few hours. Subterranean trench-and-treat work is typically completed in a single day. You can usually go about your normal routine while we work — no overnight stay required.

Yes. Local treatments come with a service warranty, and we offer optional annual renewal plans. We’ll explain warranty terms in plain English before any work is scheduled.

Rush escrow inspections are typically completed within 1–2 business days, with Section 1 and Section 2 reports delivered straight to your agent or lender. We work with realtors across San Diego County every week.

Rarely. The vast majority of homes we inspect can be treated locally without tenting. If we ever believe fumigation is the better answer, we’ll tell you honestly — no scare tactics, no pressure to upsell.
