    Local Termite Risk

    Why Alhambra Homes Face High Termite Risk

    Alhambra has high termite pressure for three reasons: pre-1950 wood-frame homes, a mature tree canopy, and tightly spaced lots where swarms move from house to house.

    A large share of Alhambra homes went up between 1920 and 1950. Their Douglas fir framing and old-growth redwood substructures carry no modern wood treatment. After 70 to 100 years, this wood is prime drywood termite habitat.

    Homes near the San Marino border, around Almansor Park, and in the Midwick Tract see heavy swarm pressure each summer. Drywood termites swarm in summer and fall.

    Book an Inspection

    Pre-1950 Wood-Frame Homes

    Spanish Colonial Revival arches, wide eaves, and decorative fascia give drywood termites many entry points.

    Summer and Fall Swarms

    Drywood termites swarm in summer and fall, and homes 5 to 10 feet apart give winged termites a short flight to the next house.

    Dense Lots and Apartments

    Homes sit 5 to 10 feet apart, and older apartment buildings go years between inspections, so colonies spread fast.

    Know Your Termite

    Termite Species in Alhambra, CA

    Alhambra homes face three termite species, and many older properties have two at once. Each species below needs its own treatment plan.

    Western drywood termite found in an Alhambra home

    Western Drywood Termite

    Western drywood termites (Incisitermes minor) are the most common drywood termite in California and a major pest in older Alhambra homes. They live entirely inside wood, need no soil contact, and infest attics, framing, window casings, and furniture. Widespread infestations in 1920s to 1950s homes often need fumigation.

    • Signs: six-sided pellets below window casings and attic framing
    • Swarm season: summer and fall, during warm daytime hours
    • Treatment: Bora-Care spot work or Vikane fumigation
    Termite Fumigation
    Western subterranean termites near an Alhambra foundation

    Western Subterranean Termite

    Western subterranean termites (Reticulitermes hesperus) live in soil and enter Alhambra homes through mud tubes. Wood-to-soil contact and irrigation moisture around raised foundations give them easy access. Many older Alhambra homes have drywood and subterranean termites active at the same time.

    • Signs: mud tubes on stem walls and piers
    • Swarm season: spring or fall, on clear days after a soaking rain
    • Risk areas: raised foundations and irrigated beds
    • Treatment: Termidor liquid soil barrier
    Termite Treatments

    Pacific Dampwood Termite

    Less common than drywood or subterranean termites, dampwood termites show up in Alhambra where lawn sprinklers hit wood siding, downspouts drain against the foundation, or a slow plumbing leak soaks a sill plate. The wood stays wet, then rots. We stop the water source first, replace the damaged wood, and treat the area so the colony does not return.

    • Signs: soft wood near sprinklers and downspouts
    • Risk areas: leaks, sprinklers, poor drainage
    • Treatment: drainage fix plus wood repair

    Rental and Multi-Family

    Termite Control for Alhambra Rentals and Apartments

    Alhambra has a large share of duplexes, fourplexes, and 1940s to 1960s apartment buildings. Termites spread from unit to unit through shared framing, so one infested unit puts the whole building at risk.

    Termite damage in a rental unit turns into a habitability problem for the owner. We help landlords and property managers inspect every accessible unit, plan treatment around tenants, and keep written records for each property.

    Warning Signs

    Signs of Termites in Your Alhambra Home

    Alhambra homes show termite activity in a few predictable places. Check these spots:

    • Frass pellets on window sills under original wood casings
    • Discarded wings near porch lights and windows after summer and fall swarms
    • Feeding damage in Spanish Colonial arches, beams, and decorative fascia
    • Mud tubes on raised-foundation stem walls or crawlspace piers
    • Small kickout holes and frass below attic framing
    • Frass or damaged trim along shared walls in duplexes and apartment units
    • Small kickout holes, under 2 mm wide, in 1920s to 1950s trim and framing

    Spotted One of These Signs?

    Frass or wings in one home or unit often means activity next door too. Book an inspection before the next swarm season.

    Customer Reviews

    What Homeowners Near Alhambra Say

    • My Termite Company was a pleasure to work with.  Jose came out to inspect the areas of infestation and where repairs were needed.  He said he would be personally doing the work.  A contract was sent with specific areas where work was needed, the work was scheduled for the following week, and Jose and a helper came out to do the work professionally and neatly.
      Elizabeth S.
      Studio City, CA
    • This review is based on my experience with the initial inspection by Lee and my observation of the work done. I was having preventive treatment done to avoid an infestation. The work was done in a very thorough manner and although my estimate did not include some areas they treated them anyway.
      Brain B.
      Los Angeles, CA
    • We found evidence of drywood termites in a wooden cocktail table and contacted several termite companies for help.  Brandon at ‘My Termite Company’ was incredibly fast at responding and also offered a quick and reasonably priced solution.
      Pamela S.
      Pasadena, CA
    • We used My Termite Company for inspections and treatment on both the house we sold and the new house we bought.  Incredibly responsive, honest, and great to work with.  They were very flexible to our schedule and helped fix a few things very quickly for a sale schedule.

    • I had a small issue with some drywall termites. Called My Termite Company and was given an appt for the following week (during covid, they’re busy, i get it). The tech was on time, inspection took only a couple of minutes, price was agreed upon and the tech got to work!

    FAQs

    Termite and Pest Control in Alhambra: FAQs

    A quick termite estimate in Alhambra is free. A full termite inspection costs $60, and a pro inspection costs $85. WDO reports for real estate are priced separately, so call us for current pricing.

    In California, the purchase contract decides who pays. Sellers often pay for the inspection and Section 1 repairs, and buyers often cover Section 2 items they want fixed. Agree on this with your agent before escrow opens.

    Clear access to the attic hatch, crawlspace entry, garage walls, and the space under sinks. Move stored items away from the exterior walls of the garage, and keep pets in a closed room. For apartments, give tenants notice so the inspector has access to each unit.

    Your report lists every finding with its location and the termite species. You get treatment options and a written estimate, from spot treatment to fumigation. After treatment and any wood repair, we issue the paperwork you need for escrow or your records.

    California does not require a termite report for every sale. Under Civil Code Section 1099, the seller must deliver one when the purchase contract or the lender makes it a condition, and many do. A pre-listing inspection in Alhambra gives you time to handle Section 1 items before escrow. We deliver WDO reports within 24 to 48 hours.

    Western drywood termites (Incisitermes minor) are the most common drywood termite in California and a frequent find in Alhambra attics and framing. They live inside wood and infest attics, framing, window casings, and furniture. Western subterranean termites (Reticulitermes hesperus) also attack older raised-foundation homes with wood-to-soil contact or irrigation moisture. Some older Alhambra homes have both species at once, and each needs its own treatment.

    Fumigation for a typical Alhambra home runs $1,200 to $4,000+. Cubic footage drives the price, not square footage, so attic height and roof shape matter. Older Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes near Downtown Alhambra often have taller attics. A full inspection gives you an exact written quote.

    Drywood termites spread through swarming. Winged termites leave an active colony each year, fly toward light, and start new colonies in nearby wood. Alhambra homes often sit 5 to 10 feet apart, so one untreated neighbor puts the whole block at risk every summer. Subterranean termites travel through soil and cross property lines underground, especially along shared irrigation and landscaping.

    Yes. Drywood swarmers start new colonies in exposed wood on homes of any age, and subterranean termites reach new wood wherever soil, moisture, and wood meet. Regular inspections, every 3 to 5 years per UC IPM, catch new activity before it spreads.

    On a Alhambra WDO report, Section 1 lists infestation or infection that is evident, such as live termites or termite damage. Section 2 lists conditions likely to lead to infestation, such as earth-wood contact, excess cellulose debris, faulty grade levels, excess moisture, roof leaks, or poor ventilation. Whether Section 2 work happens before closing depends on your purchase contract.

    It depends on the treatment. Spot treatments with Bora-Care or Tim-bor require no evacuation. Fumigation requires you, your pets, and your plants to leave the home for several days while it is fumigated and aired out. Liquid soil treatments for subterranean termites only require you to stay off treated exterior areas for a few hours.

    UC IPM recommends a termite inspection every 3 to 5 years. Pre-1950 homes, multi-family buildings, and homes with past termite activity are worth checking more often. Quick estimates are free, and full inspections start at $60.

    Usually not. Most homeowners insurance policies exclude termite damage, so check your own policy. Regular inspections are the most reliable way to catch termites before damage spreads.

    Ants, cockroaches, roof rats, and spiders are the pests we treat most often in Alhambra. Dense blocks, older apartment buildings, and restaurant corridors on Main Street and Valley Boulevard give them food and shelter. Our licensed technicians treat all four.

    Yes. Landlords and homeowners in Alhambra choose monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly pest control visits. Multi-unit buildings get one schedule that covers every unit.

    Alhambra homes and rentals need an inspector who knows the local housing. We have served Los Angeles homeowners since 2008, and our office in Eagle Rock is about 15 minutes away. Our inspectors are SPCB licensed and our repair crews are CSLB licensed.
