Termites in this area

Drywood or subterranean?

Drywood termites live in dry wood above ground, often in attics, eaves and furniture. UC IPM calls their six-sided fecal pellets diagnostic; they are pushed out of kickout holes less than 2 mm wide. Subterranean termites need soil contact. Mud tubes on a foundation or wall are a common sign. Contact a licensed company for an inspection. UC IPM: Drywood Termites; UC IPM: Subterranean and Other Termites.

When they swarm

Drywood swarmers fly during the day in summer and fall. Subterranean termites in the Reticulitermes group swarm in the afternoon in spring or fall, on clear days after soaking rain. UC IPM: Drywood Termites; UC IPM: Subterranean and Other Termites.

What an inspection covers

California's minimum is a visual search of the areas an inspector can reach. Hidden damage can be missed, so ask what was and wasn't inspected. UC IPM: Drywood Termites.

Treatment

UC IPM discusses fumigation, local treatments and heat as options for drywood termites. Ask each licensed company to explain its recommendation and the proposed scope in writing. UC IPM: Drywood Termites.

Termite questions in Glendora

What is "faulty grade" on a termite report?

It means the top of the foundation is even with or below the soil beside it. California treats it as a Section II condition, and the report must recommend correcting it.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

Why does my report mention debris under the house?

Excessive cellulose debris, such as scrap wood and stumps under the house, is a condition California requires the inspector to report because it can lead to infestation.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

My crawl space is very low. Will it be inspected?

Subareas with less than 12 inches of clear space under the floor joists are a Section II condition. Areas the inspector can't reach must be listed, and opening them later leads to a supplemental report.

When do subterranean termites swarm?

UC IPM lists swarms of winged termites in spring, summer or fall among the signs. Winged termites or shed wings indoors are worth a call to a licensed inspector.

What's the difference between Section I and Section II?

Section I covers active infestation or infection and the damage it caused. Section II covers conditions likely to lead to infestation that haven't caused damage yet.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

If I fix the problems, does the reinspection cost extra?

If the company gave an estimate or bid, a reinspection of the listed items can cost no more than its original inspection price, and must be done within 10 business days after you ask. After four months, it counts as a new inspection.

Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

Is fumigation needed for subterranean termites?

No. UC IPM says fumigation and other drywood methods can't control subterranean termites in a structure, because most of the colony lives near or below ground. Control uses insecticides on the soil, through the tubes or in bait stations.

What notice do I get about the pesticide?

California requires a pesticide notice before work starts, and a fumigation notice at least 48 hours ahead. Sources: spcb_act ---
