    Local Termite Risk

    Why Highland Park Homes Face High Termite Risk

    Highland Park homes face high termite pressure. Three factors drive it: pre-1940 wood framing, Arroyo Seco moisture, and hillside construction.

    Many homes here are pre-1940 Craftsman bungalows with 80 to 100 year old redwood framing. Much of this original wood has never been treated, or its last treatment was decades ago.

    Homes near Avenue 64, Pasadena Avenue, and the eastern edge of Highland Park sit close to moist soil and mature trees. Termites stay hidden until they damage sill plates, floor joists, or foundation areas.

    Book an Inspection

    Pre-1940 Craftsman Homes

    Old redwood framing, exposed rafter tails, and expired or missing wood treatments.

    Arroyo Seco Moisture

    Fallen wood, mature trees, and damp soil feed subterranean termite colonies.

    Hillside Foundations

    Raised foundations, crawlspaces, and wood-to-soil contact near Mount Washington give termites easy entry.

    Know Your Termite

    Termite Species in Highland Park, CA

    Three termite species attack Highland Park homes. Each one needs a different termite treatment.

    Western drywood termite found in a Highland Park home

    Western Drywood Termite

    Western drywood termites are the most common drywood termite in California and a frequent pest in Highland Park Craftsman homes. They live entirely inside wood, need no soil contact, and swarmers start new colonies in exposed wood. Widespread infestations in 80-year-old homes often need fumigation.

    • Signs: six-sided fecal pellets, kickout holes, shed wings
    • Swarm season: summer and fall, during warm daytime hours
    • Treatment: spot treatment or Vikane fumigation
    Termite Fumigation

    Western Subterranean Termite

    Subterranean termites live in soil and reach Highland Park homes through mud tubes. They attack sill plates, floor joists, and ground-contact wood, causing hidden structural damage over years. Moist soil near the Arroyo Seco gives these termites the moisture they need.

    • Signs: mud tubes and damaged wood near soil
    • Swarm season: spring or fall, on clear days after a soaking rain
    • Risk areas: crawlspaces and foundation walls
    • Treatment: Termidor soil treatment

    Pacific Dampwood Termite

    Less common than drywood or subterranean termites, dampwood termites target water-damaged wood where plumbing leaks, poor drainage, or wet soil create moisture. They often appear alongside dry rot. Treatment removes the moisture source, repairs affected wood, and prevents damp conditions from returning.

    • Signs: soft, wet, damaged wood
    • Risk areas: leaks, poor drainage, wet soil
    • Treatment: moisture fix and wood repair

    Warning Signs

    Signs of Termites in Your Highland Park Home

    Do not wait for visible damage. These signs point to an active infestation:

    • Frass (tiny wood pellets) near baseboards, windowsills, or below attic access points
    • Discarded wings near doors and windows after swarm season
    • Feeding damage in trim, baseboards, or framing
    • Mud tubes on exterior foundation walls or crawlspace piers
    • Small kickout holes, under 2 mm wide, with pellets piled below
    • Damaged sill plates or floor joists in the crawlspace
    • Damaged rafter tails or fascia boards on Craftsman eaves

    Spotted One of These Signs?

    One sign warrants an inspection. Multiple signs mean the infestation has already advanced.

    Customer Reviews

    What Northeast LA Homeowners 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.
      Gizelle F.
      Pasadena, CA
    • 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 Control in Highland Park: FAQs

    Look for frass (tiny wood pellets) near baseboards and windows, discarded wings after swarm season, small kickout holes in wood, and mud tubes on the foundation. Any of these signs means you need an inspection. Call us for a free quick estimate or book a full inspection.

    It depends on how far the infestation has spread. Isolated colonies in one accessible area often qualify for spot treatment using Bora-Care or Tim-bor. Infestations that span multiple wood members in a Craftsman home typically require fumigation. Our inspector makes this determination on-site during the inspection.

    Fumigation for a typical Highland Park home runs between $1,200 and $4,000. The price depends on the square footage of the structure and the extent of the infestation. You receive a written estimate before we schedule any work.

    Yes. Properties near the Arroyo Seco, homes with raised foundations, and hillside properties with wood-to-soil contact face elevated subterranean termite risk throughout 90042. Many homeowners discover subterranean termites during a real estate inspection, not before. Regular inspections catch this activity early.

    A full inspection of a typical Highland Park home takes 45 minutes to 90 minutes. Larger homes with extensive crawlspaces or deep attics take longer. We do not rush inspections. A missed area in an older Craftsman home is a missed infestation.

    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 Highland Park gives you time to handle Section 1 items before escrow. We deliver WDO reports within 24 to 48 hours.

    When correctly applied, fumigation should eliminate all drywood termites present at the time of treatment. New infestations start when new swarmers reach the structure, sometimes years later. UC IPM recommends inspections every 3 to 5 years to catch new activity before it spreads. Termidor soil treatment for subterranean termites provides ongoing protection for years.

    Pre-1940 Craftsman homes with widespread infestations require fumigation to reach all affected wood. Localized infestations respond to Bora-Care or Tim-bor spot treatments. Subterranean pressure requires Termidor soil treatment. The right answer depends on what our inspector finds. Schedule an inspection and you will have a clear recommendation within 90 minutes.

    UC IPM recommends a termite inspection every 3 to 5 years. Pre-1940 Craftsman homes, hillside properties, and homes with past termite activity are worth checking more often. Quick estimates are free, and full inspections start at $60.

    Plan to stay out for several days. People, pets, and plants must leave while the home is fumigated and aired out. Never enter the tent. Return only after the licensed operator completes the clearance test, then open windows and air out the home before moving back in.

    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.

    A local termite company knows Highland Park housing. My Termite Company has served Northeast Los Angeles since 2008 from our office at 930 Colorado Blvd, minutes from 90042. Our SPCB licensed inspectors and CSLB licensed contractors handle Craftsman bungalows, hillside homes, and raised foundations.

    Ants, cockroaches, roof rats, and spiders are the pests we treat most often in Highland Park homes. Older Craftsman houses, raised foundations, and hillside lots with mature trees give them easy entry and shelter. Our licensed technicians treat all four.

    Yes. We offer recurring pest control service for Highland Park homes, with scheduled visits to treat new activity and keep pests out year-round. Ask about pest control during your termite inspection or free estimate.
