Signs of a Termite Infestation

Early detection of termite activity is crucial to preventing extensive damage to your Sacramento property. Recognizing these common signs can help you take timely action.

• Mud Tubes: These pencil-sized tubes, often found along foundation walls, indicate subterranean termite activity.
• Hollow-Sounding Wood: Damaged wood may produce a hollow sound when tapped, suggesting internal termite damage.
• Discarded Wings: Swarming termites shed their wings after mating, leaving behind piles near windows and doors.
• Frass (Termite Droppings): Drywood termites produce small, pellet-like droppings that accumulate near infested wood.
• Visible Damage: Warped wood, buckling floors, and swollen ceilings can indicate advanced termite damage.
• Clicking Sounds: Termites communicate by tapping their heads against wood, producing faint clicking sounds.
• Difficulty Opening Windows or Doors: Warping caused by termites can make windows and doors difficult to open or close.
• Soft Wood: Wood that is soft and easily punctured with a screwdriver or knife.

Recognizing these signs can help you identify a termite infestation early. Prompt action is essential to protect your Sacramento property from costly damage. Our team at Pro Active Pest Control can provide thorough inspections and effective treatment solutions.

Our Pest Termite Control Process

The professionals at Pro Active Pest Control know firsthand the pressures homeowners face regarding troublesome pests. This is why we always advocate for proactive pest prevention. We have found conducting termite inspections and preventive treatments to be highly effective in safeguarding our clients' homes against termite infestations. Our three-step process includes:

• Inspection: The first step in our termite control process is a thorough examination of your home's exterior. We look for any signs of termite activity as well as potential termite conducive conditions.
• Treatment: Using the information gathered during the inspection, we will recommend the proper treatment for your home. These can include a treatment that is applied to the soil along the foundation of your home or a localized treatment in the soil.
• Follow-up: Follow-up services are not included with a one-time termite control service. However, we do highly recommend termite monitoring on an annual basis after treatment or as a preventive measure.

Comprehensive Support Throughout the Process: At Pro Active Pest Control, we don't just stop at treatment. We offer comprehensive aftercare and support to ensure that your home remains termite-free. Our team continuously updates you with the latest information and advice on how to prevent future infestations. This ongoing relationship ensures every client remains educated and empowered in maintaining pest-free premises.

Common Termites Found in Sacramento

Sacramento's climate and diverse housing stock make it susceptible to various termite species. Understanding these common pests is crucial for effective prevention and treatment.

• Subterranean Termites: These are the most prevalent termites in Sacramento, living in soil and building mud tubes to reach wood. They cause extensive damage to foundations and structural timbers.
• Drywood Termites: Often found in attics and wooden furniture, drywood termites infest dry wood and do not require soil contact. They can cause significant damage to exposed wood components.
• Dampwood Termites: These termites prefer moist wood and are often found in decaying or water-damaged structures. They indicate underlying moisture problems that need addressing.
• Formosan Subterranean Termites: Though less common, these highly destructive termites can form large colonies and cause rapid damage. They are a significant concern in certain areas of Sacramento.
• Pacific Dampwood Termites: Similar to dampwood termites, they thrive in humid and moist areas and attack damp wood structures.
• Conehead Termites: An invasive species, these termites are known for their rapid spread and ability to cause extensive damage.
• Powderpost Beetles: While not termites, these wood-boring insects also cause damage to wooden structures and are often confused with termites in Sacramento.

Identifying the specific termite species is essential for targeted treatment. Our team at Pro Active Pest Control is experienced in recognizing and eliminating these common termites, ensuring lasting protection for Sacramento properties.
