Termite Inspection & Removal
Ventura & Los Angeles Counties
At AAction Pest Control, we understand that spotting a termite infestation in its early stages can be challenging. Subtle signs might go unnoticed, but they are crucial to preventing significant structural damage to your home. Here’s a list to help you detect a potential termite problem:
Detecting a Termite Invasion: Six Key Signs for Homeowners
Mud Tubes
Termites build pencil-thick tunnels, also known as mud tubes, for safe transportation from their underground colonies to your home. These tubes are usually found around the home’s foundation.
Frass or Termite Droppings
As termites consume wood, they create wood-colored or darker droppings known as frass. If you notice small piles of what looks like coarse sawdust, it could be a sign of termites.
Discarded Wings
Swarmers, or reproductive termites, leave behind their wings after finding a mate. These wings are usually identical in size and found close to windows, doors, or other home-access points.
Hollow or Damaged Wood
Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer of wood or paint. If you tap on a piece of wood and it sounds hollow, or if your screwdriver easily penetrates the surface, you might have a termite problem.
Blisters in Wood Flooring
Termites feeding within or below can cause your wood floors to appear blistered or bubbled. This damage often resembles water damage and can be easily mistaken.
Cracks in the Exterior Structure
Termites can create cracks and distortions in your home’s exterior walls or plaster. Any inexplicable cracks should be investigated for a possible termite issue.

Termite Treatments
Drywood Termite Treatments
Fumigation: This is the most thorough treatment as it is a whole structure treatment.  It takes 3 days and requires some preparation. Call for more details
Localized Spot Treatment: Chemicals are injected directly into the wood and it travels through the tunnels the termites have made. This is one of the quickest and affordable methods. Localized treatment can only be performed in areas that can be physically accessed, but if the termites are beyond the treated area this method is not effective.
Subterranean Termite Treatments
Subterranean Termite colonies are eliminated by treating the soil that they coming from. Two methods are used for this depending on the foundation type and how severe the infestation:
Raised Foundation: The soil below the house will be treated & we break all mud tubes the termites use.
Concrete Slab Foundation:  We will drill small holes through the concrete and inject chemicals into the soil below the foundation, we then seal the holes.
With both methods the termites bring the chemicals back to the colony, they spread it around eventually eliminating the whole colony.
