Torrance Termite Control

Individually Tailored Treatment Plans

Because every termite problem is unique, we are committed to customizing our treatment plans to meet our customers’ individual needs. The size of your infestation, the location of the nest, and the type of termites you are dealing with all play a role in determining the best course of treatment.

Some of the treatment options we offer include:

• Complete Home Tenting: Tenting, or fumigation, is one of the highly effective termite treatments for major infestations. It involves enclosing your home in a tent and forcing a chemically treated gas that reaches many areas, including the walls and crawlspaces, for a comprehensive approach.
• Local Treatment: If a termite infestation isn’t bad enough to merit professional tenting, it is still crucial to treat the affected area promptly. Some of the treatments we offer, both for wood-consuming and earth-harboring termites, can be applied locally without the need for tenting.
• Termite Baiting: If all of the conditions are right, baiting stations can help control a subterranean termite infestation. The bait is designed to be slowly carried back to the nest so that it will be shared with the colony.
• Under-Slab Injection: In certain cases, injecting a Termidor application underneath the foundation of your home or commercial building is the most effective termite treatment available.
• Structural Repairs: When termites infest your home, it is not uncommon for them to damage the structure. If a termite inspection reveals this kind of damage, it may be necessary to repair these areas before the affected spots can be treated.

At Kilter, we believe that prevention is just as important as treatment. That is why our termite control specialists provide information to home builders so they can take the necessary precautions when constructing your home. We are also committed to educating property owners about what may attract termites and how to reduce the risk of termite infestations.

Are Termites Dangerous?

Termites may be small, but they are immensely destructive. These insects cause billions of dollars in property damage each year. Although termite colonies are composed of thousands or even millions of termites, you likely won’t notice the damage until it becomes extensive.

Additionally, because termites eat cellulose, they can seriously damage your possessions, including books, pictures, and more. Some live underground and tunnel up into homes to wreak havoc in the walls and ceilings, while others form nests directly in structures themselves.

However, these destructive insects are not a direct threat to your health. Their presence doesn’t directly expose you to disease, nor do they bite or sting. Calling for residential termite control is necessary if you want to save property from damage, but you don’t have to fear for you and your family’s safety.
