Your Trusted Local Termite Control Company in Lawndale, CA

Termite problems rarely call for the same answer. Our termite control specialists know when a focused treatment is enough and when the whole structure needs attention.

Our solutions include detailed inspections, foam and spot treatments, borate applications, soil treatment for subterranean termites, and full-structure tenting for widespread drywood activity. We also prepare WDO reports for escrow when needed.

We explain what we find before recommending the next step, so homeowners can understand their property, the available options, and why a treatment makes sense.

5 Ways We Treat Termites, Matched to What We Find

Termite Inspection

Our local exterminators check the attic, crawl space, garage, eaves, and every room we can reach, then show you photos of what we found. Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes. Need a report for escrow? We write those too.

Termite Tenting

When drywood termites have spread through walls we can’t open, tenting is the one treatment that reaches every board in the house. We handle the tarps, the gas, the safety checks, and your prep list.

Foam and Spot Treatment, No Tent

If the colony sits in wood we can reach, our termite expert drills small holes, injects treatment straight into the termite tunnels, and seals the holes. You can usually stay home during the treatment.

Borate Wood Treatment

Borate soaks into bare wood and kills termites that feed on it. It’s the go-to for attics, crawl spaces, remodels, and new framing, and it stays in the wood as long as the wood stays dry.

Soil Treatment for Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites come up from the ground. Our termite control team treats the soil around your foundation, and under the slab where needed, to cut off their route. It’s the fix for mud tubes on a slab or along the foundation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mario an exceptional and trustworthy professional I gave him a call and sent a text accompanied by a picture of a hole and droppings near the kitchen ceiling. He promptly visited the next day and confirmed the presence of termites. Ready to address the issue, he proposed two solutions: drilling into hole to insert bait that termites would carry back to their colony or tenting the house. Given it was a single hole, he recommended the more cost-effective bait treatment, to see if it worked before considering the more expensive tenting option. It has been approximately three months since the treatment, and there are no signs of termites.
Thank you Mario!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Elite 1 Termite Control!

From the beginning, Mario and his team were incredibly responsive. Mario replied quickly to my email and scheduled an estimate right away. I was feeling a bit apprehensive because I was about to leave town but knew the termite work needed to be handled.

Mario and his staff made the entire process smooth and reassuring. They communicated frequently, coordinated with the gas company, and even handled removing my smoke detectors when I was having trouble with them. That level of attention and follow-through gave me real peace of mind while I was away.

Mario kept reassuring me that everything would work out — and it did. Payment was simple and convenient (Venmo made it easy!), and the whole experience felt professional and trustworthy from start to finish.

I would absolutely recommend  Elite 1 Termite Control to anyone needing termite treatment. Reliable, communicative, and truly customer-focused!
Thanks again.🙏

Frequently Asked Questions.

Termite Questions We Hear Most

These are the questions we hear most on the phone. If yours isn’t here, call and ask Mario directly.

Do I have to tent my house for termites?

Not always. If the termites are in wood we can reach, a spot or foam treatment can handle them without anyone leaving home. If they’ve spread through walls and framing we can’t open, tenting is the treatment that reaches all of it. We’ll show you which case you’re in before you decide.

How can I tell drywood termites from subterranean termites?

Drywood termites leave small, hard pellets that collect in little piles under windowsills, baseboards, or attic wood. Subterranean termites build pencil-width mud tubes up from the soil, usually on the foundation, slab, or garage wall. Winged swarmers can come from either kind, so we confirm it at the inspection.

When do termites swarm in Los Angeles County?

Drywood termites, the most common kind in Southern California, swarm on warm, sunny days from late September through November. Subterranean termites swarm in spring or fall, mostly in the afternoon on a clear day after a soaking rain. Winged termites inside the house usually mean a colony is close by, so it’s worth a call either way.

How long does a termite inspection take?

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes. Larger homes, difficult crawl spaces, and areas with limited access can take longer. If we expect the inspection to need more time, we’ll let you know so you can plan around the visit.

Do you do termite inspections for escrow?

Yes. We inspect properties for real estate transactions and provide WDO reports for escrow. We explain our findings and termite removal options clearly, and we understand that closing timelines can be time-sensitive. Agents can schedule an inspection with us by calling (310) 504-4555.

How long do we need to be out of the house for tenting?

The exact time away depends on the fumigation schedule and when the property is cleared for re-entry. Full tent fumigation requires everyone, including pets, to leave the property. We provide preparation instructions beforehand and let you know when the home has been cleared for your return.

What does a termite inspection cost?

We offer free termite inspections. If treatment is recommended, we provide a quote based on what we find before work begins. For escrow report pricing, call us at (310) 504-4555 so we can confirm the current fee before you schedule.
