A step by step walkthough with pictures of how a typical treatment of subterranean termites would look like.
Fumigation is the only treatment for drywood termites and wood boring beetles that effectively penetrates the entire structure in one application. It can completely eliminate termites and beetles, even in areas not accessible to spot treatments.
Prevention is the best control method for protecting your house. For example, if you are building a new house, make sure there will be several inches (at least) between the soil and any lumber. This distance will force the subterranean termites to build shelter tubes, which are about the width of a pencil, from the ground to reach the wood in your house. The tubes make it easier to find and control areas where termites attack.

The California Structural Pest Control Board would like us to inform you that while we offer a number of ways to eliminate drywood termites and wood boring beetles due to recent advances in pesticides, the only sure way to eliminate every last insect is to fumigate the structure. While we can arrange to have your building fumigated, the actual fumigation is subcontracted to another pest control company, most likely Nor-Cal Pest Control, a wholesale Sacramento pest control company that performs fumigations in Sacramento and the neighboring counties of Northern California.
