If you’ve ever noticed tiny winged insects swarming around your home or spotted damaged wood that looks like it’s been nibbled away, you might be dealing with termites—and we get how unsettling that can be. At Elite Pest Management, we’ve been helping Southern California homeowners protect their properties from these silent destroyers since 2007. With over 40 years of combined experience and a recent boost from our acquisition by Certus Pest, we’re here to tackle termite problems with care and expertise. Let’s dive into how we can save your home from these wood-munching pests!

Why Termites Are a Concern

Termites might be small, but they can cause big headaches. These critters love to feast on wood, and once they move in, they can weaken your home’s structure without you even noticing—until it’s too late. In California, where nearly 100,000 homes and businesses are fumigated yearly, termites are a common foe. Whether it’s drywood termites hiding in furniture or subterranean termites tunneling up from the soil, they can turn your dream home into a nightmare. That’s where we come in, offering tailored solutions to stop them in their tracks.

Our Termite Control Services

At Elite Pest Management, we know every home is unique, and so are its termite challenges. Our team, led by owner Robert Serdoz, brings decades of know-how to the table, ensuring your property gets the attention it deserves. Here’s how we handle the two main termite threats:

Drywood Termites

These sneaky pests love dry wood and can infest attics, furniture, or walls. They don’t need soil contact, making them tricky to spot. That’s why we offer fumigation with Vikane—a trusted method since 1961 that penetrates every nook and cranny, leaving no residue behind. One of our licensed field reps will walk you through the process, from prep to post-fumigation, making it as smooth as possible. The benefits? It eliminates pests without damaging your belongings and reaches areas local treatments can’t.

Subterranean Termites

Living underground, these termites need soil moisture to thrive and sneak into homes through cracks or wood-to-soil contact. During swarm season, you might see millions of flying reproductives, signaling a new colony is on the way. We tackle them with chemical treatments and recommend yearly inspections to catch issues early. Our team also suggests fixes like improving soil grading to make your home less inviting, saving you from severe damage to framing or foundations.
