Termite Control in San Franciscool
Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare. These small, ant-like insects live in massive colonies and can cause major damage to your home. In fact, termites cause billions of dollars’ worth of damage every year in the United States alone. For this reason, it’s important to take termite infestations seriously and to take steps to protect your home from these destructive pests.
At HomeShield Pest Control, we offer a variety of termite control services in San Francisco to help you get rid of termites quickly and efficiently. Our services are available to customers throughout San Francisco. We offer both residential and commercial services to meet your termite control needs.
What Are the Signs of a Termite Infestation?
Termites are often referred to as “silent destroyers” because they can cause significant damage to your home without you even realizing it. In fact, termites are so small that it can be difficult to notice them until they have already caused a lot of damage. However, there are a few signs that you can look out for that may indicate a termite infestation in your home:
- Discarded wings: One of the most obvious signs of a termite infestation is discarded wings. When termites swarm, they shed their wings and leave them behind. If you find small piles of wings in your home, this is a good indication that termites are present.
- Wood damage: Another sign of a termite infestation is damage to the wood in your home. Termites feed on wood, and as such, they can cause significant damage to your home’s structure. If you notice any damage to your home’s wood structure, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
- Mud tubes: Termites build mud tubes to protect themselves from predators and to help them travel between their colony and their food source. If you notice any mud tubes around your home, this is a sure sign of a termite infestation.
- Swarming termites: Termites often swarm in the spring, when the weather starts to warm up. If you notice any swarming termites around your home, this is a good indication that there is a termite colony nearby.
Termite Control for Homeowners
Termites can cause significant damage to your home, and in some cases, they can even make your home unsafe to live in. If you think that you have a termite infestation, it’s important to have your home inspected by a professional as soon as possible. The faster you can get rid of the termites, the less damage they will be able to cause.

Homeshield was great to work with!“Homeshield was great to work with! My wife and I encountered a really bad termite problem at our new home during the renovation phase, and needed treatment asap so that renovation could resume. Mike drove all the way down for an inspection, and was very thorough in his explanations. He was able to match a competitor's price for the treatment and locked in a day for the following week. Daniel and Elias, the technicians, were very communicative about their ETA and did a good job explaining their respective roles. All in all, a quick and easy process. Thank you, Homeshield!”- James Y.

Ben was FANTASTIC“
Ben was FANTASTIC in every way, He came to give me an estimate on my home, was on time, polite, knowledgeable, and extremely professional in how he handled everything. Had 4 other termite co. to give me an estimate, not even close to Ben's expertise, I would give him a 10 if I could. Will definitely use him in all my other projects , they are a lot since I am in real estate and have many clients.
