Upright Termite Control

Termites can cause significant structural damage to homes and business with a single colony consuming up to a pound (half a kilo) of wood each day. As social insects that establish large colonies fairly quickly, both the male and female termite feed on wood and continually work to build a nest for their eggs. The presence of termites, particularly in the spring, often indicates that a colony is well established in the near vicinity. Termites prefer decaying wood and despite causing significant damage, they often leave a physical effect that at first appears to render wood as smooth and clean. Upright Termite Control termite control experts are experienced at identifying and ridding any West Covina home or business from the threat of termites and protecting your property from the significant harm caused by a termite infestation.

Damage due to termites is estimated to be more than 1 billion annually in the US alone.
