Termite Infestation Solutions

termite control liquid barrier

LIQUID BARRIER 

Treatments are applied to the foundation of your home or building, creating an invisible barrier against termites. Anytime termites pass through this zone, they carry and spread the treatment to the rest of the termite colony.

ORANGE OIL

The active ingredient in orange oil dissolves the exoskeleton of the termite. This treatment can solve small infestations on its own or work with other treatments to manage larger infestations.

DAMAGE REPAIR

Your home is an investment that should last a lifetime. However, over time, damage from termites can make your home unsafe and unlivable. Pinnacle Pest Control has a team of licensed general contractors that will repair your home to its former glory.

Signs of Termite Infestation

Catching a termite infestation early can help minimize damage to your home or business. Be on the lookout for signs of termites, including:

  • Mud tunnels: Small, hollow tunnels made of mud usually found on walls and other surfaces; mud tunnels usually mean that the colony is close by.
  • Discarded wings: Insect wings near doors and on the floors indicate that termites are close by.
  • Hollow-sounding walls: If you knock on an area of your wall and it sounds more hollow than the rest of the wall, it's possible that the timber behind the wall has or is currently filled with termite activity.
  • Termite droppings: Drywood termites extract water and moisture from anything they can find, even their own droppings. These are brown-colored, grainy, dry, and usually found near infested wood. Termite droppings (also called frass) are a sign that there are active termites nearby.
  • Closer details: There are other signs of termite infestations that can often only be detected with a professional inspection. This insight is why many homes and businesses invest in annual termite inspection services.

If you see one of these signs, contact our local exterminators for a termite inspection service.

Which Kind of Termites Do You Have?

Termites can cause serious structural damage to your property, sometimes costing thousands of dollars in repairs. Discovering damage at your home is an unsettling experience, but the trusted pest control professionals at Pinnacle can help.

Drywood termites. These termites build their nests in dry above-ground wood sources. The best termite treatment solution is to drill the infested wood and inject orange oil (a type of termite bait) into the feeding area, which kills termites on contact

Subterranean termites. A common type of termite in every state except Alaska, these cause more damage than any other termite species. They live underground in the soil and build mud tubes to reach your property's wooden structure. They're best treated with liquid termiticide surrounding the perimeter of your property and any potential entry point to deter termites from seeking food sources on your property.

Drywood Termites & Orange Oil Treatments

Orange oil treatment is a highly effective, localized method for eliminating drywood termite infestations without the need for tenting. Our trained technicians begin by pinpointing the exact location of termite activity within the wood.

Once the infestation is located, we drill very small, discreet holes into the wood to access the hidden termite galleries. A high-concentration orange oil solution is then injected directly into these galleries, killing termites on contact. The oil wicks through the wood, spreading to eliminate the colony at its source. This targeted "spot treatment" approach is a convenient and powerful way to protect your home.

Treatment

We inject orange oil into the infested wall area using a minimally invasive method designed to maintain the integrity of your home and prevent the need to disrupt your life. As the oil spreads through the wood beams, the termites are killed and the treated area is neutralized from reinfestation.

Toxicity

Orange oil is only toxic to the termites. When the treatment comes in contact with a termite, it destroys the wax coating of the termite's respiratory system, and causes suffocation. Bye Bye Termites.

Advantages

Other termite treatments force you to pack your bags and move out of your home. With orange oil, you can get rid of termites with the same guaranteed results as fumigation, while still staying in the comfort of your home.

Warranty

Orange Oil is proven effective, and our certified Orange Oil specialists can offer you a warranty that is equal to any other treatment option.

Subterranean Termites & Liquid Barrier Treatments

Pinnacle Pest Control currently offers a liquid barrier treatment, and it is a truly revolutionary way to treat your property for Subterranean Termites. This barrier is created by digging a trench around the four sides of the building or drilling some small holes through the concrete slab and injecting the chemical into the soil around or underneath the building. Here is how this treatment works:

  • Creates a continuous barrier in the soil underneath and around the exterior perimeter of the home
  • Works in 3 months or less
  • Eliminates termites by ingestion or contact

At Pinnacle Pest Control, we have the knowledge, experience, and most effective materials and equipment to protect your home against subterranean termites. Since each home is different, our technicians will follow the prescribed treatment methods outlined by our inspector at the time of your initial inspection.

Termite Pest Control in Sacramento

Most properties in Sacramento and the rest of California use wood as their main construction material. The state’s abundance of trees allows for wood to remain a strong but inexpensive construction material that's much easier to construct with. Thanks to state laws, taxes on wooden properties are lower than their concrete, steel, metal counterparts. 

Unfortunately for property owners, this means plenty of residential and commercial properties in Sacramento, and the East Bay Areas of California are vulnerable to termites. If left untreated, termites can build a colony that can eat the exterior or interior of your property, compromise the structure of the building, and cause costly damage that can risk the safety of those inside the property. That's why it's important to keep your property termite-free. 

If your residential or commercial property shows signs of an active termite infestation, contact Pinnacle Pest Control as soon as possible. Rather than waiting and letting the infestation cause irreparable damage to your home or business, you’ll have a team of professionally-trained pest control specialists that can eliminate all termites. 

On top of this, you can receive extra steps and recommendations on termite prevention to reduce the risk of recurring termite infestations. With our integrated pest management solutions, we can get rid of the present infestation while also helping you take steps to prevent the risks of a future infestation.

Termite Pest Control: What Termites Can Do to Your Home or Business

Unlike most pests that carry diseases, termites are more concerning because of what they can do to your property. Every year, termites of various species cause billions of dollars in structural damage in the United States. 

In fact, property owners spend over five billion dollars in the last few years to fix property damage caused by termite infestations – which means spending at least $3,000 just for the repairs alone. 

Learn more about our termite damage repair services.

Termites are capable of causing major destruction to your property because of their natural practices. If your property has everything they need to survive – food (wood), water (moisture in the wood and a high humidity interior), and a dark space for them to inhabit – they can find some common entry points and settle their colony in your property. 

They survive by feeding on cellulose, an organic compound found most commonly in wood, though they may also feed on plants, cotton fibers, and paper items around your property as they also contain cellulose. 

Termites have mandibles and teeth to gnaw through wooden beams and drywall. If your property has a wooden frame covered by concrete, termites can find a weak spot in concrete and chip through it until it has access to your property's wooden structure.

The worst part? Termites are silent pests that can spend years hiding in your walls without you knowing it. Most property owners don't realize they have a termite infestation until their property begins to show signs of decay because of termites chipping at the wooden structure. 

At Pinnacle Pest Control, our team of pest management specialists know how to perform a thorough termite inspection, identify the type of termite, and deal with it accordingly. Our eco-friendly pest control methods ensure we eliminate all termites on your property and prevent any further property damage. We know the best ways to treat different types of termites, including the following common termites: drywood and subterranean termites.

Residential Termite Control

Termite infestations cause millions of dollars in property damage each year, silently compromising the structural integrity of homes. The sooner you detect and address an infestation, the better your chances of minimizing costly repairs. Delays in termite extermination can result in damage totaling hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

For homeowners, this isn't just about expense, it's about safety. Living in a termite-damaged home can pose serious structural risks. And if you're planning to rent, lease, or sell your property, you're legally required to disclose any termite activity or damage, which can significantly lower your property's value.

Don't let termites undermine your investment. Instead, call Pinnacle Pest Control. Our local exterminators specialize in eliminating termite infestations, preventing them from coming back, and repairing the damage they leave behind.

 

Commercial Termite Pest Control

Commercial properties are just as vulnerable to termite damage as homes, and the stakes can be even higher. Structural issues caused by termites can put employees, clients, and visitors at risk, potentially leading to personal injury claims, reduced productivity, and serious business disruptions.

At Pinnacle Pest Control, we provide comprehensive termite treatment solutions tailored to both residential and commercial properties in the Sacramento and East Bay areas. Our licensed technicians are professionally trained to inspect, treat, and prevent termite infestations, helping you maintain a safe, stable, and fully operational space. Don't let termites threaten your business. Trust Pinnacle to protect your property and your peace of mind.

FAQs About Termite Control

Q: Are DIY termite control solutions effective?

A: Unlike other pests that feed on humans and food scraps, termites are exclusively interested in your wooden structure and can be difficult to draw out and eliminate with DIY methods. Some DIY pest control products designed for termites can kill some termites and prevent them from attacking a part of your property, but that won’t stop them from reproducing or attacking another part of your property. The best way to handle a termite infestation is by getting rid of the colony entirely, and that requires professional pest control skills. 

Q: How do I know if my property has termites?

A: Unfortunately, most property owners don't realize they have a termite infestation until they start to see signs of property damage. Termites are silent pests and, apart from other items like paper products, plants, and organic fibers, you won't really see them feeding off humans and other animals or finding their way into your pantry. Some signs to look out for include:

  • Mud tunnels – small, hollow tunnels made of mud usually found on walls and other surfaces; mud tunnels usually mean that the colony is close by. 
  • Discarded wings – insect wings near doors and on the floors indicate that termites are close by. 
  • Hollow-sounding walls – if you knock an area on your wall and it sounds more hollow than the rest of the wall, it's possible that the timber behind the wall has or is currently filled with termite activity. 
  • Termite droppings – drywood termites extract water and moisture from anything they can find – even their own droppings. These are brown-colored, grainy, dry, and usually found near infested wood. These are a sign that there are active termites and a termite colony nearby.

Extermination Story

I have an older home near neighbors that I believe to be horders. It seems that mice travel from that house to my home on a very regular basis. I have gone through several exterminating companies over the years until i Pinnacle Pest. I called them the first time and they were excellent! The best by far. They're effective, courteous reliable service both both costumer service and individual exterminators. They know their trade very well and even educate the costumer about pest control.

Mark Rosen

Literally the easiest company to work with! I have used them for 3 years now! Home infested moving in, not a problem after their treatment. I use them for quarterly service now. The staff are so incredibly kind and professional! It comes from the top! From the person receiving the call to schedule the appointment to the technician … all are amazing and really try to help! Technician will call when 30 min away and spends as much time as needed for a thorough treatment!

Lance Meyers

I want to thank Jim at pinnacle. We thought we had a powder post beetle problem. We had another termite company tell us that we needed to fumigate our house for $5,000. We called Pinnacle for a second opinion and it turned out we had Milled in beetles that did not need a fumigation. I could not believe it. We were looking for a better price. The other company made a mistake. Thanks again for being honest.

Carlos A.

Pinnacle is absolutely fantastic! We used to have them at our home in the Sacramento area (they have a branch up there as well) and when we moved to the Bay Area we were super happy that they service the East Bay as well. I can't speak highly enough about Pinnacles customer service, amazing office staff, fantastic on-site technicians who actually CARE about their clients.. This is good old fashioned customer service, the way it SHOULD be… A+!

Sean Andrade

Pinnacle is great. My property has been serviced by Jason now for several years and he's been fantastic. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. He's always been available to help answer any questions and provide everything we've needed. 12/04/18
