Pest control in Sacramento
Termites in Sacramento homes
Termites eat wood from the inside, so the first sign is often small: a few droppings, a mud tube or a soft spot in trim.
An inspection is a person with a flashlight and a moisture meter looking at the places wood meets soil, water or the roofline. It's thorough but it isn't X-ray vision.
You get a written report of what we saw. A report doesn't promise anything, and it doesn't cover damage.
Signs you have it
- Small piles of pellet-like droppings under a window frame or baseboard
- Thin mud tubes along a foundation or inside a crawl space
- Wood that sounds hollow or feels soft when you press it
- Discarded wings near a window after a warm spring or fall day
What we do
Four steps, in this order
An inspection is one visit. Treatment, if needed, is scoped and quoted in writing first.
- 01
Step 1: Inspect
We check the foundation, crawl space or slab edge, attic and the wood trim, as far as we can safely reach.
- 02
Step 2: Identify
We tell you what kind of termite it looks like, because treatments differ.
- 03
Step 3: Treat
If we find activity, we give you a written scope of the treatment and what it covers, before any work.
- 04
Step 4: Prevent
We tell you about moisture, wood-to-soil contact and the repairs that make a house less inviting.

Questions
Questions about this visit
Does a termite report promise anything?
No. It says what we saw on the day. It doesn't promise that termites aren't there or won't come, and it doesn't pay for damage.
Do you do inspections for home sales?
Ask when you call. Some reports for a sale are done on a separate form, and we tell you which we can write.
What if the pests come back?
Call the number. If the pest we treated for comes back within 60 days of a visit, we return and treat the same areas at no charge. That covers the pests named on your service report. It doesn't cover pests we didn't treat for, or entry points we asked you to seal that stay open. Plan customers get return visits between scheduled visits for as long as the plan is active.
