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.

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.

Really pleased with Hi-Tech Termite Control. Well-spoken smart group of people with a lot of knowledge. I had a problem about a year ago and it cropped back up again, and today they came back to fix it... for free! Love that. We're in the middle of Covid-19 right now, and the 2 guys were masked up with shoe covers before they even got out of the truck. And to top it off, they vacuumed up way more area than they needed to. While I hope I don't need to hire them again, I would in an instant.
