Termite Control in Southern California

Schedule My Service

Termites are destructive pests that no one wants to deal with. They enter homes and businesses silently and can work for months or even years before damage is discovered. As an experienced termite control team serving Southern California, Preventive Pest Control helps property owners detect infestations early and prevent costly structural damage. Termite damage is not typically covered by insurance companies because it does not occur overnight and is often viewed as preventable with proper care. That’s why Preventive Pest Control recommends ongoing termite inspections and treatment to ensure your property is 100% termite-free.

Do You Need Termite Treatment?

Not sure if you have termites? These are the most common signs to look for:

1

Mud Tubes

Mud tubes along your foundation, exterior walls, or crawl spaces are a common sign that termites are actively traveling through your home. These pencil-like tunnels are used to protect them from air and light while they move between their nest and food source.

2

Discarded Wings

Discarded wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures often indicate a recent termite swarm. This usually means termites are trying to establish a new colony somewhere nearby or even inside your home.

3

Wood Damage

Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or breaks easily can be a strong indicator of hidden termite damage. Termites often eat wood from the inside out, leaving the surface looking intact while the structure is being weakened.

4

Tough-to-Open Doors & Windows

Doors and windows that suddenly become hard to open or close may be affected by termite-related damage or moisture buildup. You might also notice bubbling paint or warped wood as termites compromise the structure behind the surface.

5

Termite droppings.

Small piles of fecal droppings which look like reddish-brown sawdust pellets. These are commonly found in window seals or on the ground next to the building. The termite “kick-out” holes are typically found just above that pile of pellets.

What to Expect From Our Termite Control

We’re Southern California’s top-rated termite control team for a reason. Here’s our tried-and-true process:

Inspection

We provide thorough termite inspections throughout Southern California. Our team will come to your home or business and inspect both the interior and exterior, including every visible and accessible area. We inspect the areas you don’t think of, including attics, crawl spaces, and hard-to-reach spaces, to identify signs of termite activity, dry rot, moisture damage, leaks, fungus, and other signs of termites. When we’re done, you’ll receive a written report prepared with a diagram of the structure, along with detailed findings and recommended next steps.

Identification

Our technicians know exactly how to determine the type of termite disturbing your property. Common Southern California termites include:

  • Drywood Termites
  • Subterranean Termites
  • Wood-Destroying Organisms

Once we’ve determined the type of termites you’re dealing with, our team will make personalized treatment recommendations for your property.

Treatment

No two termite issues are the same. Preventive’s team creates a customized treatment plan for every property we visit based on the type of termites found and the extent of the damage and infestation. Treatment may include whole-house fumigation, localized drywood treatment, wood replacement or repair, localized subterranean treatment, or whole-house subterranean treatment.

    Over the years ... I have been very impressed with all of your professional technicians... as each is qualified and conscientious. BUT... I believe Sam is one of your better technicians. He is punctual, friendly, attentive to my needs, respectful of me and my property and very through in completing his task. He insures that what we need is taken care of properly and completely. His efforts prove that he strives for satisfaction rather than simply going through the motions to pacify us. Thank you for keeping my property pest free... but I really appreciate that your staff will respond immediately should a problem develop. Keep up the excellent work. These days it is difficult to find a "Customer Service" company with such high standards.
