Termite Inspections, Termite Treatment, and Termite Control for Temecula, Fallbrook, Oceanside, and the Surrounding Areas
The two common types of termites in Southern California are Drywood Termites and Subterranean Termites. Both types of termites can cause serious structural damage to your home or commercial building. As soon as you spot signs of a termite infestation, contact a termite control company like Knockout immediately!
As a first step for termite control, we send a licensed termite specialist to your home or office to conduct a termite inspection. As part of the termite inspection, we prepare a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) report that identifies, locates, and provides recommendations for the best termite control.
Termite Treatments
Termite Fumigation
Termite fumigation is a whole-home termite control treatment that involves covering the home or building with a tent. There are a number of misconceptions about termite tent fumigation, but when administered professionally and responsibly by a termite control specialist, termite fumigation can be the best choice to completely rid a structure of termites. The termite fumigation process involves tenting the area and administering an odorless, non-residual gas. This means that the gas does not cling to furniture, carpets, walls, bedding, or any other part of your home. The gas stays in the tented area for 24 hours. Then, a termite specialist releases the gas. Once the gas is gone, the gas is gone. And so are the termites.
With certain types of termite infestations, tent fumigation might not only be the best choice, but possibly the only choice to completely eradicate the termites. With large termite infestations or those that are in inaccessible areas, spot treatments like orange oil or heat treatments are not viable options. Tent fumigation reaches all the termites in the structure—even those you can’t see.
With termite fumigation, homeowners must leave their house for two nights and three days. Our termite specialists guarantee re-entry into your home by noon on the third day.
Localized Termite Control Treatments / Spot Treatments
If a termite infestation is confined to a small area and accessible, spot treatments can be effective in completely eradicating termites. Spot treatments are less invasive than tenting and allow you to stay in your home or place of business while the treatment is being administered. Localized termite control can include wood injections and topical application of termite control treatments.
Termite Heat Treatment
For localized Drywood termite infestations, heat treatment is an effective green termite control solution. Termite heat treatment can eliminate termite infestations without the use of chemicals and gasses in areas like attics.
Our termite control specialists perform heat treatments by heating up the interior of the wood to about 135 degrees and holding it at that high temperature for one hour. A termite heat treatment is a chemical-free termite elimination option that allows you and your pets to remain in your home while we take care of your termite problem. Heat treatment can be the best termite control choice for limited disruption with maximum results.
Orange Oil Termite Treatment
Orange oil termite treatment, an affordable termite control solution, is available to treat localized termite issues. Orange oil termite treatment is a green termite control choice.
