It's swarming season, friends.

In California, drywood termites tend to swarm between June and September on really hot days. The heat signals mature colonies that it's time to expand. Colonies send out winged reproductives that take flight, pair up and breed to establish new colonies.

While seeing one or two or even a few of these "swarmers" is not necessarily an indication of an infestation in your home, they could make their way into your home. If you are finding hundreds or more, it could be a sign that you have an active, mature infestation that needs to be addressed. the only way to know for sure is to have an inspection by a trusted, professional termite and wood destroying pest inspection company. We would live to be that company.

Did you know that pricing your home correctly can be the single most important factor in selling your home? Overprice the home and you lose potential buyers (and it can take forever to sell). Underprice the home and you leave money on the table.

Pricing your home competitively from the start can help you get more people through the door, sell your home faster, and it can even have multiple buyers competing with one another - leading to an increase in the final sale price of the home.

Hey All!

One of the things we hear a lot around the change of the season is that homes that have been recently fumigated are seeing new "signs" of the termites they thought they'd gotten rid of. We are here to tell you, they're probably not back.

Fumigations rarely fail to eradicate all drywood termites. But as much as the termites are gone, their..... treasures aren't. Pellets (termite p**p) left behind remain in the galleries after the termites have expired and will occasionally filter out of convenient places as your home settles.

Places that get a lot of movement like door frames and window trim are often place you will see pellets appear. As the heat soars, caulked areas can fail and you may all the sudden find yourself with a pile of p**p that looks like your little buddies have moved back in.

The best thing to do in these situations is send us one some clear photos of what you are seeing so we can assuage your fears that the termites remain. Other maintenance chores that can help are to recaulk around doors and windows and keep stucco and painting good repair.

The good news is, that if it really is the termites, your warranty should cover it if you're within 3 years of your fumigation.
