If you own a home in Sacramento, there's a good chance it's built mostly of wood, and that's exactly what termites are looking for. The tricky part is that they work quietly, so most homeowners only find out when a wall sounds hollow, a door frame starts to sag, or a pile of discarded wings shows up near a window. By that point, the damage is already spreading. That's why professional termite control in Sacramento starts with a proper inspection, not a quick spray. A trained technician can tell whether you're dealing with drywood termites in your attic and framing or subterranean termites coming up from the soil, and that matters because each one needs a different fix. Drywood problems are often handled with a targeted orange oil treatment, so you don't have to leave your home, while subterranean termites are usually stopped with a liquid barrier around the foundation. DIY products rarely reach the colony itself, which means the termites just move on to another part of your house. If you'd rather not gamble with your biggest investment, Pinnacle Pest Control has been protecting Sacramento and East Bay homes since 1998, with free inspections and a 5-year termite-free guarantee (terms apply).
