A small pile of pellets beside a window can signal a different issue from mud tubes along a foundation. We look for the source and extent of activity before proposing a treatment. Elite1 has handled termite problems for more than 32 years. That experience matters when a problem calls for something more specific than automatic whole-house fumigation.
In Hawthorne, we work on both residential and commercial properties. Some infestations can be addressed with spot work or foam in accessible wood. Others call for soil treatment or, when drywood activity extends through hard-to-reach areas, tenting. Our local exterminators explain the evidence and practical choices before you decide how to proceed.
Home Treatments Sized To The Problem. Activity in one accessible wooden feature should not automatically receive the same recommendation as damage found across several areas of a house. We check how far the infestation extends before discussing treatment.
Termite Services For Commercial Properties. Offices, shops, and other commercial buildings can need a different approach to access and scheduling. We inspect the affected sections and discuss foam, soil applications, or fumigation where suitable.
Answers From A Licensed Crew. Our licensed, bonded, and insured team shows you what the inspection revealed, what a proposed service covers, and what to expect before any treatment is scheduled.

Drywood termites may occupy several enclosed sections of a building. When smaller treatments cannot adequately reach them, tent fumigation allows treatment to circulate through those concealed spaces.

The building's layout determines where a termite control exterminator applies liquid treatment: soil beside the foundation, beneath parts of the slab, or both. This method addresses subterranean termites entering the structure through the ground.

You'll hear which termite type the signs suggest and what comes next. We check reachable areas for moisture, damaged wood, mud tubes, termite droppings, discarded wings, and other evidence of activity.

Where galleries or voids can be reached, foam helps carry treatment into spaces that a surface application may miss. We use it for selected areas rather than assuming it will cover every hidden infestation.

Borate can be applied directly to suitable unfinished wood while the surface is exposed. The material absorbs the treatment, making it useful for accessible framing and certain construction or renovation stages.
