Schedule Comprehensive Termite Inspection, Repair, and Treatment Today

Termites are a growing problem throughout California. Experts estimate that one in five homes in the urban areas of northern California have been or will be infested by termites. Before purchasing a home in the Bay Area, schedule a termite inspection with CalPro Inspection Group. Our inspectors will find the source of the problem, and work quickly to eliminate it once and for all.

Termites: An Endemic Problem

If you live in northern California, dealing with termites is a fact of life. Termites thrive in warm, moist conditions and are particularly troublesome in the spring and fall. Subterranean termites, in particular, are common throughout the entire state and infest fallen trees, stumps, dead wood, landscaping materials, and structural timbers.

Signs of a Problem

Subterranean termites most frequently swarm during the spring and fall. On warm, sunny days, be on the lookout for swarms of termites emerging from their hiding places. In addition to swarms, other signs to look for in or near your home include:

Piles of shedded wings
Presence of shelter tubes (i.e., mud tubes) on outside walls, wooden beams, or in crawl spaces
Evidence of tunneling in wood
Sawdust-like piles near wood surfaces
Darkening or blistering of wood; surfaces may feel soft and are easily punctured
Elongated, pellet-shaped droppings
