One of the most damaging insects that needs immediate Extermination in Fullerton is the termite. Termites are a small insect that resembles the ant and until recently, were considered a part of the ant family. It has since been determined that termites are actually closer to the cockroach and have become a distinct subfamily (Isoptera) of the cockroach order (Blattodea.) However, they still share some traits with the ant, certain bees and wasps because they produce overlapping generations, divide the labor among the various castes and all members of the colony take care of the young. Because they are such social insects, the termite can live in colonies that number in the millions. This is one of the main reasons they are such a hazard to your home or business.
Termites tend to build nests to contain their colonies. Depending on the species, these nests can be in trees or mounds in the ground. The more common species that infest our homes can be found underneath the foundations of the buildings, in the walls or somewhere close to their food source, the wood in your building. It is sometimes possible to find them near a water source, and in homes and businesses this could be a leaking water line. Termite Extermination in Fullerton requires the experience of a well equipped company such as Southern California Exterminators. In severe cases, they may require the use of extreme chemical measures to eliminate the infestation and the application of a maintenance routine to ensure they don’t return.
