HAYWARD — There are several ways to treat a termite infestation, but the best option is to prevent it from happening in the first place. You can do this by having a reputable termite company perform regular inspections of your home and property. As a preventative measure, all Bay Area homeowners should have termite inspections performed every three to five years.
During an inspection, the technician will look for signs of activity from termites, wood-boring beetles and other wood-destroying insects, as well as more passive (yet equally destructive) agents like dry rot. The technician will also assess your property and take note of any conditions that make it more susceptible to infestation. By identifying both harmful activity and conducive conditions, an inspection will allow you to deal with these preventatively rather than in their advanced stages.
If termites are found on your property, you may assume your entire house will need to be fumigated, but this isn’t always the case. If the infestation is contained within a certain area, you can do a localized treatment. This is why it’s important to hire a company that performs thorough inspections. Whereas a less thorough company may prescribe a whole-home fumigation based on seeing termites in a single area, a company that does thorough inspections will take the time to get an accurate assessment of the situation and prescribe an appropriate treatment.
