Side by side
Know your enemy
Most SoCal infestations are one of these two. Here's a closer look at each.
No soil contact needed. Common in attics, framing, fascia and furniture.
Frass: small pellet droppings Discarded wings near windows Hollow-sounding wood Needs moisture and soil contact. Builds mud tubes to reach your home's wood.
Mud tubes on the foundation Large, fast-growing colonies Extensive structural damage Know the difference

Both are widespread in SoCal. Drywood termites are extremely common in coastal and inland homes; subterranean termites thrive wherever there's soil moisture against the structure.
Look for the tell-tale signs: small pellet-like frass means drywood; mud tubes running up the foundation mean subterranean. A free inspection confirms it for sure.
They can, if conditions invite them. That's why we repair damaged wood and give you follow-up guidance, and for widespread drywood, full fumigation clears the whole structure.
Every year or two is smart in Southern California, and always before buying or selling a home.
