Major League Pest
Type of Termites
Common to Southern California, the Drywood Termite colony nests directly in wood. They are frequently found in attics, roof eaves, decks, patio covers and just about any lumber in the home. They are very destructive and cause millions of dollars in damage each year across America. These termites are really difficult to detect because they live entirely inside the wood and do not need any soil contact.
One of the telltale signs of their presence is the small, wood-colored pellets they leave behind, which are about the size of a grain of sand. In addition to structural damage, they can also weaken wooden furniture and fixtures, making them a serious threat to both homes. If left untreated, a Drywood Termite infestation can lead to costly repairs and extensive property damage over time.
Subterranean Termite Evidence
Subterranean termites live in underground colonies that can be 15-30 feet below ground and up to 100 feet away from a structure. They are typically found in crawlspaces, garages, patios, and around the foundation of homes. They tunnel through the ground by building unique mud tubes to gain access to food (your home) and to protect themselves, but they must travel back to the soil to retrieve moisture for survival.
This makes areas with high moisture levels, such as damp basements, leaky pipes, or poor drainage around the foundation, particularly vulnerable to infestation. Subterranean termites are known for their ability to cause extensive damage to the structural integrity of homes, often going unnoticed until significant destruction has occurred. They prefer hidden, underground routes that make early detection difficult. We encourage regular inspections to help prevent costly repairs.
Satisfied Homeowners
Enrique, Alex and Daniel did an excellent job repairing the fascia and shade structure that were damaged by termites and dry rot.
We chose this company because of their great reviews on Google, but it’s a decision we now regret. Our experience was a huge disappointment which only caused additional and unwanted stress.
I’ve had a fantastic experience with Major League Pest Control for years! My technician, Tony, is absolutely the best—professional, knowledgeable, and always goes above and beyond.
Working with Paul was a complete breath of fresh air. I completely trust him as he went above and beyond to show me exactly what was going on and not try to oversell me on any treatment.
