Are Termites Threatening Your Home?
Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage across the United States every year, and Northern California homeowners face significant risk from these destructive pests. In areas like Chico, Santa Rosa, and Concord, the mild climate creates ideal conditions for termite activity throughout most of the year. At Pest Pros Pest Solutions, we've seen firsthand how quickly these silent invaders can compromise a home's structural integrity.
Pest Pros Pest Solutions Helps Protect Your Property from Termites
Our termite control service combines cutting-edge technology with years of local experience to deliver results that protect your investment.
Thorough Property Inspections
We examine every vulnerable area of your home, including crawl spaces, attics, basements, and foundation perimeters, using advanced detection equipment to find hidden colonies.
Accurate Species Identification
Different termite species require different treatment methods. We identify whether you're dealing with subterranean, drywood, or dampwood termites to apply the most effective solution.
Customized Treatment Plans
We develop targeted strategies based on your home's construction, the severity of infestation, and your specific needs, with no cookie-cutter approaches.
Multiple Treatment Options
From liquid barrier treatments and bait station systems to spot treatments and fumigation, we offer various methods to eliminate termites at every life stage.
Preventative Barriers
We install long-term protective measures that deter future infestations, including soil treatments and monitoring systems that provide ongoing surveillance.
Detailed Documentation
We provide comprehensive reports with photos and diagrams showing affected areas, treatment locations, and recommendations for repairs or preventative measures.
Follow-Up Monitoring
Termite control doesn't end after initial treatment. We schedule regular follow-up visits to verify treatment effectiveness and catch any new activity before it becomes problematic.
Signs You Might Have Termites
Many homeowners don't realize they have termites until substantial damage has occurred. Watch for these warning indicators:
Mud tubes along foundation walls or exterior surfaces
Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
Discarded wings near windowsills or doors
Frass (termite droppings) that resemble sawdust or coffee grounds
Bubbling or peeling paint that mimics water damage
What to Do When You Discover Termites in Your Home
Don't panic or disturb the area: Avoid touching or spraying the affected area with household pesticides. Disturbing termites can cause them to relocate to other parts of your home, making detection and treatment more difficult.
Document what you've found: Take photos or videos of the termite activity, damaged wood, mud tubes, or discarded wings. This documentation helps professionals assess the situation quickly.
Contact a professional immediately: Termite infestations worsen rapidly. The sooner you call Pest Pros Pest Solutions at (916) 588-9345, the sooner we can stop the damage and begin treatment.
Avoid DIY treatments: Over-the-counter products rarely eliminate entire colonies and can drive termites deeper into your structure where they continue causing unseen damage.
Keep moisture away from affected areas: Fix any leaks or drainage problems near the infestation site, as moisture attracts termites and accelerates wood decay.
Prepare for inspection: Clear access to crawl spaces, attics, and basements so our technicians can conduct a complete evaluation of your property.
Understanding Termite Behavior in Your Area
The drywood and subterranean termite species common to Chico, Santa Rosa, and Concord have different habits and require targeted treatment approaches. Subterranean termites build colonies in soil and create moisture-rich environments within wood structures. Drywood termites, conversely, infest dry wood directly and don't need soil contact.
Prevention Tips for Homeowners
Simple maintenance steps can reduce termite attraction to your property:
Eliminate wood-to-soil contact around your foundation.
Fix leaking faucets and drainage issues promptly.
Store firewood away from your home's exterior.
Remove tree stumps and dead vegetation from your yard.
Schedule regular professional inspections.
Don't let termites compromise your home's value and safety. Early detection and professional treatment save thousands in repair costs.
