What to Know Before You Call About Termites

California has two main termite problems. Subterranean termites come up from the soil and need moisture. Drywood termites fly in and live inside dry wood, often in attics, eaves and furniture.

A good inspection covers the basement or crawl space, the outside of the foundation, the garage and any wood that touches soil. Ask what they found and where.

For subterranean termites there is a liquid barrier in the soil or bait stations in the yard. For drywood termites there is tenting with fumigation or spot treatment of the wood. Ask about the warranty and how long it lasts.
