WHY SOUTH LAKE TAHOE?

Area Conditions that Support This Critical Pest

Your family calls California home, and so do a variety of pests that thrive in the state's varied climates, with record temperatures ranging from 134°F to -45°F. Formosan termites, the most destructive member of the U.S. termite family, thrive in the warmer temperatures found throughout the state. They were first found here in 1992, with the earliest signs appearing in San Diego County. They have been hard at work ever since, causing extreme amounts of damage to homes each year. These termites are 1/2 inch in size, pale yellow in color and covered in tiny hairs. Because of their large swarm size, Formosan termites are capable of damaging the structure of a home much faster than traditional termites. An estimated $1 billion is spent on damage from Formosan termites each year, and since California is one of the few states they call home, it is important that you protect your house or business in South Lake Tahoe as quickly as possible. Protecting your home doesn't have to be complicated; it can be as easy as calling a trusted pest management provider and asking about Formosan termite control services for the South Lake Tahoe area.
