Subterranean Termite Inspection & Evidence

Suberranean Termite Inspection & Control

Southwest Riverside County

There are a couple of different reasons why AmeriGuard Pest Defense is called out for a termite inspection.

1. Termite Evidence
2. Escrow Inspection required by the bank when selling or refinancing real property

In some cases, a homeowner finds evidence of subterranean termites. Subterranean termites live underground in the soil or in moist secluded areas aboveground. Subterranean termites construct enclosed tunnels or mud tubes that allow them to travel and find food sources without being exposed to air. 

These subterranean termites were using books on a bookshelf as a food source. Since books are made out of paper, they fit right into the subterranean termite's diet of cellulose material. The homeowners had no idea that mud tubes existed behind their collection of old library books. Once they moved the books and found the termite evidence, they called AmeriGuard Pest Defense for a termite inspection.

Subterranean termites can lurk in inconspicuous places where you least expect to find them, but as you can see above, this species of termites need moist soil to survive and are usually found in damp conditions near cellulose material, such as the wood members of a structure.

A WDO Report will be issued and the work performed promptly and by a licensed pest control applicator. Once the work is completed, a completion report will be generated.
