Drywood Termite Treatment — Quick Facts
Why Drywood Treatment in Commerce?
Industrial/residential mix, older structures, moderate risk.
Commerce's year-round warm temperatures mean drywood termite colonies remain active even in winter. Catching and treating localized infestations early with spot treatment prevents them from spreading to attic framing and structural members where a more expensive whole-structure treatment would be required.
All drywood termite treatment services in Commerce are performed by our CA-licensed inspector (License #PR7791) and come with a written report, warranty documentation, and a free inspection before any treatment is recommended.
Inland homes often develop drywood termite colonies in attic framing, particularly along the ridge and in gable-end walls where heat concentrates. Our inspectors assess whether the infestation is sufficiently localized for spot treatment or whether fumigation would provide more complete coverage. Older homes with decades of wood additions and accumulated structure may have multiple drywood infestation sites. Our inspector will assess whether spot treatment can provide adequate coverage or whether fumigation is the more cost-effective long-term solution given the scope.
Peak termite swarm season in Commerce: April–May. Don't wait for visible damage — early treatment costs a fraction of structural repairs.

Termite Conditions in Commerce
Commerce is primarily an industrial and commercial city with a small residential population concentrated in the southwest corner. The existing residential homes are mostly 1940s–1960s construction, and their proximity to industrial operations means routine maintenance has often been deferred. Subterranean pressure from the Los Angeles River flood control infrastructure running along the city's eastern edge adds to baseline risk in the residential areas.

Common issues we find in Commerce:
- Drywood termites in deferred-maintenance 1940s–1960s residential homes

What is the difference between spot treatment and fumigation?
Spot treatment targets only the specific areas where active termites are found. Fumigation treats the entire structure simultaneously. For localized infestations, spot treatment is effective and less disruptive. For widespread activity, fumigation provides more complete coverage.
Do I need to leave during treatment?
No — spot treatments are performed while you remain in the home. The process is minimally disruptive and completed in a single afternoon.
What happens if termites come back after treatment?
All treated areas are covered under a 1-year warranty. If activity returns to any treated location within 12 months, we retreate at no charge.
How do I know if spot treatment is right for my home?
Our inspector will assess the scope of infestation during your free inspection and recommend whether spot treatment provides sufficient coverage or whether fumigation is more appropriate given the number of active sites.
