FAQ
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.
Is pest control harmful? How do I get rid of termites safely?
Pest control should be harmful only to the pests, not the humans or pets living in the home. DIY pest control methods are both ineffective and potentially harmful to the occupants of the home, which is why they can be so dangerous. To be sure of total elimination of the pests and the safety of the home and those living in it, use the service of a professional pest control company that offers 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.

"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."

"We were so impressed by this company. We had another company check the house and give us an estimate but we wanted another offer before we go ahead with their suggestions. Liked the reviews I saw on Yelp, so we called and scheduled an inspection. Jim arrived on time and preformed a thorough inspection of the house, including the crawl space and attic. He was very patient and explained in details his findings. We also received a written report. Hi Tech Termite Control gave us the impression that they are highly professional and fair. We decided to go with their recommendations and scheduled a local treatment to deal with the infected area. I will recommend to my friends to call them if they ever suspect they have termites."
