Common Termites in Southern California
The right treatment depends entirely on the termite type, so a professional inspection comes first.
Drywood Termite
live inside dry wood with no soil contact, common in Southern California attics, eaves, and framing, and often treated with localized treatment or whole-structure fumigation.
Subterranean Termite
nest in soil and build mud tubes to reach wood; highly destructive and treated with soil/barrier and baiting systems.
Dampwood Termite
larger termites drawn to moisture-damaged wood, signaling a leak or drainage issue.
A licensed inspector identifies the species and damage to recommend the right treatment and budget.
Signs of a Termite Problem
Termites work out of sight, so early signs are easy to miss, an inspection confirms activity.
- Discarded wings near windows or doors after a swarm
- Mud tubes on foundations, walls, or crawl spaces
- Drywood termite droppings (small pellets) below wood
- Hollow-sounding or blistered wood
- Tight-fitting or buckling doors and floors
Why Termites Are So Common in Southern California
Southern California’s mild climate is ideal for both drywood and subterranean termites, and our older wood-framed homes and coastal moisture give them plenty to feed on. Drywood termites are especially widespread, infesting attics and eaves without any ground contact.
Because termites cause slow, hidden structural damage, regular inspections and timely treatment protect your home’s value far more cheaply than repairs.
