Drywood termites, as their name implies, do not need moist soil contact like Subterranean termites. Drywood termites in Southern California are extremely prevalent due to the weather and availability of food sources. Prevention for Drywood termites in wooden structures is next to impossible which is why yearly termite inspections by a licensed pest control company like Elite Pest Management are highly recommended. Once established inside your home, they will continue to Swarm within wall voids, attics, sub areas, and spread to the point that full eradication will be very difficult without a whole structure fumigation. Elite Pest management offers highly competitive rates for spot treatments and fumigation.
