Termite control in Granite Bay starts with knowing which termite is in the house. Western subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes up the foundation, piers or garage slab to reach wood. Western drywood termites live inside the wood itself, often in attic framing, window trim or eaves, and push out small, hard pellets that pile up under the damage. Both are common in the Sacramento Valley, and treating one like the other is a common reason termites come back.
Subterranean termites are treated through the soil. The technician applies a liquid termiticide in a trench along the foundation and around piers in the crawl space, or sets bait stations around the house that the colony feeds on. Drywood termites are treated where they live: spot treatment by drilling and injecting the wood when the damage is small and reachable, or whole-house fumigation under a tent when they are spread through walls and the attic. Tenting means the family and pets leave for a few days.
Watch for mud tubes on the foundation, piles of discarded wings on windowsills after a warm rain, small pellets below trim, paint that bubbles, or wood that sounds hollow when tapped. In Granite Bay, wood decks touching the soil, firewood stacked against walls and sprinklers that soak the foundation all invite termites. Fixing those before and after treatment helps the work last.
