Termite Control in Riverside, CA

Termites live in large colonies made up of countless individuals. They work together to quickly rip through wooden structures, with each termite in the colony playing a key role. You’ll find a variety of different roles within any termite colony. Soldiers protect the colony from any interlopers. The reproductive termites, including the king and queen, pump out new termites at a rapid pace, making any infestation grow quickly. Finally, you have the workers that make their living tearing up wood to build tunnels and bring home food.

Termites have found a wonderful place to live in Riverside. The warmth and humidity are just right, making them one of the area’s most persistent pests. There are several types to watch out for, but subterranean termites are among the most dangerous. They build colonies in moist areas, such as around your foundation. They can go undetected for a long time, meaning you could face a serious infestation before you know it. Corky’s Pest Control has the tools and methods to tackle these pests for good.

Fumigation is often the most effective choice for termite treatment. This process involves tenting your home and then releasing a specialized spray inside. This spray goes into every nook and cranny, reaching any and all termites.

While fumigation is highly effective, it also requires a significant commitment. You’ll need to stay out of your home for three days as we carry out the preparation and spraying. Once the process is completed, your home will be termite-free and entirely safe for your family and pets.

With every property being unique and termite infestations varying widely in their type and scope, our team works closely with our customers to deliver custom solutions. We’ll find the right treatment or combination of treatments to tackle your termite troubles for good.

Once we’ve handled the existing termite infestation, there’s still the matter of preventing future problems. If the conditions that lured termites to your home in the first place remain, you’ll have another infestation in no time. A little bit of prevention can go a long way to keep these pests away, whether sealing up entry points or dealing with factors that can draw termites toward your home.

You can put these tips into action to keep termites and other pests away:

• Don’t stack firewood directly against your foundation.
• Keep shrubs and trees well-trimmed to avoid contact with your home.
• Don’t let debris or plants build up around exterior vents.
• Carefully seal any cracks with caulk to stop termites from entering.
• Take care of your gutters and drainage to keep your foundation dry.
