How can I prevent a termite infestation?
The later a termite infestation is spotted, the higher the damage that will have occurred, and the larger the number of the pests. Regular professional termite inspections followed by the appropriate preventive treatments are the only way to keep a home termite-free. The adage of prevention being better than cure is very relevant to termite infestations.
How do I know I have termites?
There are four (4) species of wood-destroying pest in Northern California. Drywood, Subterranean, Dampwood Termites and Powder Post Beetles. Drywood termites are the most common termites found About 78% of structures inspected each year are infested with this type. Subterranean about 26% and dampwood and powder post beetles are about 2%. Drywood termites leave piles of droppings or pellets near their nest. They also swarm on warm days leaving the nest to breed. Swarmers look like red ants with wings. Actually they have a red head and long brown body. Subterranean termites are ground dwelling and build tubes to access their food. Look for mud tubes or swarmers in the spring months. Subterranean swarmers look like small black water ants with wings. The easiest way to identity flying ants from termites is to check the insect’s wings. If the wings are short stubby and end at the rear end of the insect, it is a flying ant. If the wings are long, tear-shaped and twice the length of the insect, it is a termite. Also hollow wood is very good indication.

What attracts termites in the house?
Termites feed on cellulose, which is wood, paper, plant products like leaves, some vegetables, etc. If anything that termites eat is in a house, and accessible to them, they will find a way to reach the material and consume it. Termites may be tiny, but they have voracious appetites and the strength and perseverance to find their way to where the consumable material is, even if the human occupying the house think they have kept it out of termite reach. If you are finding termites in your home, the only way to be sure of getting rid of them and protecting the house is to have termite removal done by a professional termite control company that will provide you with a warranty on its services.

How can I get rid of swarmer termites?
My home suffered a swarmer termite infestation some years ago. A local handyman did some treatment for me and it seemed that the termites were removed. It was only later I found that they had only been driven deeper into the woodwork and continued to cause damage. It was only when rotten wood was appearing all over the house that I knew they were still there. The repairs cost me a huge amount and after that, I use only a professional termite control company that gives a warranty on its services.

Other types of termites may leave droppings or small piles of sawdust around where they are.

Right S
Getting it done and getting it done right. I've gone through multiple termite company before choosing the right one, Terminix (which just glance at the issue and left), Homeguard (who never take responsibility for their previous work) and couple other companies that just stare at one point without evaluating the perimeter. Hi Tech provides all the information you need to get started and what you need to know about termites, their activities and how to prevent and stop them. The team that took care of my problem (James, Donald, and Bo) was very courteous, respectful, and full of information. James cover the bases on what they will be doing and what to expect, he walks you through each step and making sure your comfortable with the process. Bo and Donald are fast and hard workers they went through around the house with James securing the perimeter and Bo deal with the infestation from the inside. These team don't take shortcuts. They make sure every area is covered and addressed. Most of all they clean after themselves (this is rare).
