In the South Bay Area of California, homeowners enjoy beautiful weather, proximity to innovation, and thriving communities—but that same climate also makes local homes a magnet for termites. These destructive pests are more common than you might think and can cause serious structural damage before you even realize they’re there. If you own a home in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, or surrounding cities, here’s what you need to know about termites—and how to stop them.

Why Termites Love the South Bay

The South Bay’s mild, temperate weather is ideal for termite activity nearly year-round. Homes in this region are especially at risk for two types of termites:

Subterranean Termites – These build underground colonies and tunnel into homes through foundations and crawlspaces. They're the most destructive termite species in the U.S.
Drywood Termites – These infest dry wood structures and don’t need soil contact, making them harder to detect and more likely to show up in attics, baseboards, or even furniture.

With so many homes built with wood framing and located near landscaped areas or older neighborhoods, termite risk is high—and ongoing.

What South Bay Homeowners Should Watch For

Termite activity often goes unnoticed until it's too late. Keep an eye out for:

Mud tubes near foundations or crawlspaces
Discarded termite wings near doors or windows
Hollow or blistered wood
Tiny pinholes in drywall or baseboards
Buckling floors or bubbling paint

Don’t ignore these signs—termites cause an estimated $5 billion in damage each year across the U.S., and South Bay homes are not immune.
