Termite Control for San Diego Homes

Finding signs of termites can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Harbor Pest Control, our experienced team offers proven termite treatments designed to eliminate active infestations and protect your structure from future termite damage. We’re here to help you protect what matters most.

Complete Subterranean Termite Extermination

Subterranean Termite Control

At Harbor Pest Control, we specialize in liquid termite treatments using Termidor® HP—the gold standard for eliminating subterranean termite colonies. This advanced treatment creates a continuous, undetectable barrier around your home, so termites come into contact with it without even knowing. Once exposed, they carry it back to the colony, spreading it throughout until the entire population is wiped out. It’s a fast, effective way to stop termites at the source and protect your San Diego home for the long haul.

Experienced Drywood Termite Exterminators

Drywood Termite Control

Harbor Pest Control offers a range of effective treatments for drywood termites, including whole-home fumigation, localized spot treatments, and preventative Borate applications. For active infestations, fumigation is often the most reliable way to eliminate termites throughout the structure. In cases where the activity is limited and accessible, we may recommend a less invasive spot treatment. For homeowners looking to prevent future infestations, our Borate treatment helps protect exposed wood by making it unappetizing to termites. Whatever your situation, we’ll help you choose the right solution to keep your home protected.

At Harbor Pest Control, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all termite control.

We use Termidor® HP for powerful, long-lasting protection against subterranean termites, and offer drywood termite solutions that include whole-home fumigation, localized treatments, and preventative Borate applications. Our goal is simple: eliminate termites and keep them from coming back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Termite Control FAQ

Have questions about termites or what to do if you suspect a problem? We’ve put together answers to the most common concerns San Diego homeowners have about these wood-destroying insects.

How can I tell if I have termites?

Signs include hollow-sounding wood, visible mud tubes along foundations or walls, discarded wings near windows or doors, and small piles of termite droppings (frass). Damaged wood may appear blistered or cracked.

How much does termite control cost in San Diego?

The cost of termite control depends on the termite species, the size of the infestation, the treatment method, and your home's specific needs. At Harbor Pest Control, we offer liquid termite treatments, localized treatments, and Borate (as a preventative for drywood species) as well as full-home fumigation. We recommend scheduling an inspection so we can assess your situation and provide you with a personalized termite control quote. 

What must I remove from my home before fumigation?

If termite fumigation is the best option for your situation, we’ll provide you with detailed information on how to prepare for it, including what must be removed. Items like house plants and food (unless double-bagged) must be removed before fumigation. Of course, a good rule of thumb is “When in doubt, take it out.”
