Liquid Termiticide Barrier Treatments

• Process: A liquid termiticide is applied around the building’s perimeter, creating a chemical barrier that repels or eliminates termites.

Benefits:

• Fast-acting, long-lasting protection.
• Prevents future infestations before they start.
• Suitable for both residential and commercial properties.
• Warranty for Retreatment.

Termite Baiting Systems (Trelona)

• Process: Bait stations with Trelona are placed around the property, attracting termites to consume the bait. Because termites in a colony share food through trophallaxis, where gut contents are exchanged, they effectively exchange nutrients, regulate caste, and digest food. This behavior also ensures the spread of Trelona from baits that we use to control termite populations. And the subsequent elimination of the whole colony.

Benefits:

• Safe, eco-friendly, and minimally disruptive.
• Continuous protection and monitoring.
• Effective for both active infestations and prevention.
• Retreatment warranty.

Soil-Applied Termiticides

Benefits:

• Provides long-term protection with minimal disruption.
• Targets termites at the source, blocking them before they cause damage.
• Works in conjunction with other termite prevention strategies.
• Retreatment warranty.

Trenching and Rodding Around Foundations

• Process: Our team will dig trenches around your home's foundation and inject termiticides to ensure deep penetration and protection. This process creates a strong barrier to prevent termite invasion and ensures long-term protection. It prevents future invaders and eliminates current infestations in existing structures.

What Good Are Termites? 

Termites are often thought of negatively, disliked, and feared for the wood-consuming property damage they do. So, it may surprise you to learn that they also are beneficial. With more than 2,600 termite species globally—and at least 23 species identified in California, these insects make a significant ecological and economic impact (UC IPM).

Primarily feeding on cellulose in California's forests, woodlands, and deserts, termites feed on materials such as fallen trees, stumps, dead leaves, and other decaying wood debris. Their activity is beneficial as they break down dying wood, returning essential nutrients to the soil and serving as a nutrient-rich food source for various creatures. Additionally, their tunneling activities aerate the soil, promoting ecosystem health by supporting plant growth.

Ecological Benefits of Termites:

Nutrient Recycling:

Termites break down decomposing wood, fallen trees, and plant debris, returning essential nutrients to the soil and enriching ecosystems.

Soil Aeration:

Their tunneling activities help aerate the soil, improving water penetration and supporting healthy plant growth.

Food Source for Wildlife:

Many species, including predators, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects, rely on termites as a primary food source.

Decomposition of Organic Material:

Termites aid in decomposing dead and dying debris, helping maintain healthy forest ecosystems.

What Do Termites Eat?

Termites primarily feed on cellulose, a major wood and plant matter component. However, the specific types of wood they consume—and how quickly—depend on several factors.

Foraging and Feeding Habits of Termites:

Foraging Patterns:

Unlike drywood termites, subterranean termites do not build their nests in wood. Instead, they must venture from their nest to find food. Traveling through soil and mud tunnels to reach food sources. In California, subterranean termites can forage year-round. Their activity fluctuates based on temperature and moisture.

Preferred Wood Types:

While termites can digest sound wood, they prefer decayed wood because fungi break down cellulose, making it easier to eat.

Environmental Impact on Feeding:

The rate at which termites consume wood increases with warmer temperatures. Moisture levels influence their feeding; even a small amount of rain can boost termite foraging and wood consumption.

Optimal foraging occurs in months with warmer temperatures and high soil moisture. Termites often forage under and around buildings, increasing the likelihood of infestation. As a result, thousands of properties in California require treatment each year to manage termite infestations.
