However, if you are a Realtor or a homeowner selling your home or refinancing we will waive our $95 report fee! Remember to tell customer service that you saw this ad.

What is a Termite Inspection?

Technically, a “Termite Inspection” is actually a lot more than just inspecting for termites. Under the Structural Pest Control Board, we are inspecting for all “Wood Destroying Organisms.” There are many wood destroying organisms in Southern California eating away at your home. For example, Beetles, Fungi, and Dry rot. Actually, Beetles, Fungi, and Dry rot can sometimes be more devastating and cause more damage than termites. We inspect for ALL wood destroying organisms.

What alternative methods do you offer?

We offer many alternative options to choose from. For example, Orange Oil, Radiant Heat Microwave Treatments, Foaming Treatments, and Preventative Treatments. We do have options besides fumigation. However, only a licensed technician can tell you what you need to protect the integrity of your home. That is why we offer a Free Termite Inspection!

What is Orange Oil?

Orange Oil is a localized treatment. It is an alternative method to fumigation. However, it does not replace what fumigation can offer. Orange Oil is a friendlier way to treating your termite problems. When applying Orange Oil to the specific infested areas in the home, Orange Oil kills termites and their eggs on contact.

Why is fumigation still the best way to treat termites?

Fumigation is the only way to have all timbers per square in the home treated. A fumigation uses gas, and the molecules of gas travel further than a liquid. Think of it when you were in your science elementary school classroom, learning about liquids, solids, and gases. Well, it goes back to that.

How long does fumigation take?

Technically, 2.5 days. The 1st day the tent goes up and the gas is shot. The 2nd day the tent is taken off but the fumigation is still doing the job. It is not until the 3rd day, that you would be able to get back into your home and a certification letter is on your front door. For instance, Monday your tent goes on your home, Tuesday your tent comes off but you cannot go inside yet, then on Wednesday (mid-day) there is a letter on your door. You may proceed.
