Termite damage on wood — Maxguard termite inspection and treatment

Termite Services

Termite Inspection & Treatment

Termites cause billions in property damage every year. Maxguard Pest Control protects Coachella Valley homes with thorough inspections, targeted treatments, and long-term prevention strategies.

Don't Let Termites Eat Your Investment

Southern California's warm, dry climate is ideal for termite activity year-round. Subterranean and drywood termites can silently destroy the structural integrity of your home for years before you notice the damage. Maxguard's licensed termite specialists identify infestations early and eliminate them before they become costly repairs.

Our Termite Services

Termite Inspections

Comprehensive visual inspections of your home's interior, exterior, attic, crawl space, and foundation to detect active termite activity and conditions conducive to infestation.

Subterranean Termite Treatment

Liquid soil treatments and baiting systems that target subterranean colonies living underground and entering your home through the foundation.

Localized Drywood Treatment

Targeted chemical treatments applied directly to drywood termite colonies living inside the wood of your walls, attic, and furniture — minimizing disruption to your home.

Fumigation (Tenting)

For widespread drywood infestations, we coordinate whole-structure fumigation with a trusted licensed third-party provider. We manage the process and keep you informed every step of the way.

Timbor Preventive Treatment

Timbor is a borate-based wood treatment applied directly to exposed wood framing, joists, and structural members. Once absorbed into the wood, it becomes toxic to termites — and other wood-destroying insects — if they begin feeding on it. It's an ideal preventive measure during construction, renovation, or as a proactive layer of protection for existing structures.

WDO Inspection Reports (Escrow)

Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection reports for home buyers, sellers, and lenders — commonly required during escrow and real estate transactions in California. We provide thorough, licensed reports to keep your closing on track.

Bubbling or uneven paint on walls
Doors or windows that suddenly stick or warp
