Quick answers
What Los Angeles homeowners ask first
Do You Cover My Part of Los Angeles?
Yes. We tent homes across Mid-City and the neighborhoods south, from West Adams and Jefferson Park to Leimert Park and Baldwin Hills. We come to you, so there is no office to visit.
Drywood or Subterranean Termites?
Most Los Angeles tenting is for drywood termites, which live inside the wood. Subterranean termites work from the soil and need a different treatment. An inspection confirms which you have.
How Soon Can I get an Estimate?
Usually within one business day. Call or text 657-608-2488 and we will set up an inspection for your home.
Why Los Angeles homes
Older homes, classic drywood territory
Mid-City and the neighborhoods south of it hold some of the oldest housing in Los Angeles. West Adams, Jefferson Park, Arlington Heights, Lafayette Square, and Leimert Park are lined with early twentieth-century Craftsman, Victorian, and Spanish Colonial Revival homes, and several of these areas are protected Historic Preservation Overlay Zones.
That older, wood-frame construction, combined with Southern California’s warm and dry climate, is exactly the environment where drywood termites thrive. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live inside the wood itself and do not need soil contact, so they can establish in multiple parts of a home at once. When activity is that widespread, whole-structure fumigation is usually the most complete way to reach it. See how tent fumigation works.

What we see locally
Common termite signs in Los Angeles homes
If you are noticing any of these, an inspection is the right first step.
- Piles of tiny pellets
Small, ridged droppings near baseboards or windowsills are a classic sign of drywood termites in older wood-frame homes.
- Discarded wings or swarmers
Winged termites or shed wings around light fixtures often point to an established colony inside the structure.
- Hollow or blistered wood
Trim, door frames, and eaves that sound hollow or look blistered can hide galleries eaten from the inside out.
- A termite report before a sale
Selling a Los Angeles home often surfaces Section 1 findings that have to be cleared before closing. See WDO clearance.

Los Angeles homeowner review

“Our home is one of the older Craftsmans in West Adams and the termite report before selling was scary. They explained the tenting process clearly, handled the clearance, and we closed on time.”

Questions
Los Angeles termite fumigation FAQs
Answers to what Los Angeles homeowners and sellers ask most. If your question is specific to your home, call or text 657-608-2488.
Do you serve all of Los Angeles?
Yes. We fumigate homes across Mid-City and the neighborhoods to the south, including West Adams, Jefferson Park, Arlington Heights, Leimert Park, and Baldwin Hills. We are a mobile company and travel to you, so there is no walk-in location.
Why are drywood termites so common in older Los Angeles homes?
Drywood termites live inside wood and do not need contact with soil, so they do well in the older wood-frame homes common across Mid-City and South LA. Southern California’s warm, dry climate suits them, and because they can settle in several areas of a home at once, whole-structure fumigation is often the most complete fix.
Can you clear a termite report for a Los Angeles home sale?
Yes. We inspect, produce the WDO report, perform whole-structure fumigation where Section 1 findings call for it, and issue the clearance documentation buyers, sellers, and lenders need to close. Start on our escrow and WDO page if you are mid-transaction.
How long will I need to be out of my Los Angeles home?
Plan for roughly three days out for a typical tent fumigation: preparation and tenting, the fumigation period, then aeration and a clearance check. Your technician confirms the exact schedule for your home before treatment.
Do you work on historic or older homes?
Yes, and we handle them with care. Many Mid-City and West Adams homes sit in historic districts, so we walk the property first, note access and any pre-existing conditions, and plan the tenting around the home. We do not make blanket promises, but protecting the structure and landscaping is part of the preparation.
