San Diego Termite Control

Termites are of various types and classifications depending on their habitat and style of living. They are mainly divided into two types: Subterranean and Non-Subterranean types. While the former, as the name implies, lives mostly underground in the soil and keep rummaging around for food, the latter are further classified into two types depending on their choice of habitat: dry wood and damp wood termites. Of the two, dry wood termites are very hard to control. Their colonies can contain about 2,000 termites and with presence of multiple-colonies have the capacity to cause severe structural damage.

San Diego in Southern California is known for its largest population of dry wood termites and hence any wood framed structure in the area is prone to dry wood termite infestation. Hence, if you happen to live in this area you need to get the experts from San Diego Termite Control to do the job for you. Initially the process is started by having a termite inspection done on your home and a WDO or Wood Destruction Organisms report generated. This report will state the extent of damage of infestations caused if any and also recommended course of treatment for the same. Because dry wood termites migrate each year, close proximity of wooden structures is open to termite infestations.

The treatment should also be done properly to protect the structure and not just a temporary solution that renders ineffective in course of only a few hours after the treatment. If you do not have any infestations in the property then you need to take a few precautions like identifying the areas prone to infestations and try to protect them by one of the treatments available. The full WDO report generated becomes easier for the professionals from San Diego Termite Control to plan their course of action. The experts from the San Diego Termite Control then undertake precautionary measures like spraying the prone structures with a specific liquid foam to ensure that termites stay out for a very long time.

There are no laws that require a Termite Inspection Report prior to the sale of a property in California, but it may be interesting to note that most financial institutions require one prior to lending money on the property. Therefore, it is quite prudent to begin a termite control program after identifying the type and extent of infestation with a termite inspection report and then call in the experts from San Diego Termite Control.
