Treatment and Control
Termite control experts recommend whole-house or partial extermination for termites, after an inspection determines the extent of infestation. The state Structural Pest Control Board warns that while fumigation may appear to be more costly ($1,500 and up depending on house size), alternative methods may require subsequent treatments if more termites are found.
Whole House Treatment
Chemical fumigation: Chemical-absorbent materials removed from home, building tented. Surrounding buildings may be evacuated. Fumingant pumped in, allowed time to penetrate wood. Gas vented and tent removed.
Bugged by Termites
A guide to understanding the complex society of these insidious invaders of urban habitats.
They are the overachievers of the insect world. Next to ants, termites are probably the natural world’s most industrious insect. Living in colonies than can number a million members, termites have a caste system that allows for an efficient division of labor. They are steadfast in their life’s mission – to consume wood and protect the colony at all costs. Termites are vital to nature because they recycle fallen trees back into the soil. Unfortunately, they can’t tell the difference between a tree and a house.
No home is safe from termites. Homeowners become especially vulnerable as urban areas increasingly move into wild lands. Says Donna Kingwood of California’s Structural Pest Control Board, “Termites are a fact of life. Anywhere there’s wood there’s potential for termite infestation.” Termites are found in most states, but warm southern areas are most prone to attack. In California, $300 million to $400 million is spent annually to fight termites, most of that against the dry-wood species.
Of the 2,100 termite species – order Isoptera – 41 are in North America. The kind most destructive to structures here are the dry-wood and subterranean types. The dry-wood termite is more prevalent than the subterranean in Southern California’s mild, dry climate, infesting buildings as well as furniture, utility poles and lumber piles. Both types are a problem throughout Los Angeles.
