Your property's defensive line against termites. TouchDown Pest Control delivers expert termite inspections, eco-friendly treatments, and guaranteed results across Los Angeles County — because your biggest investment deserves championship-level protection.
Los Angeles ranks among the highest termite-activity zones in the United States. The warm, mild climate and older housing stock create ideal conditions for both drywood and subterranean termites to thrive year-round.
Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage across the country every year, and most homeowner insurance policies in California do not cover termite damage. That makes early detection and professional treatment essential for protecting your home's structural integrity and your investment.
At TouchDown Pest Control, we approach termite control the same way a championship team approaches defense — with a game plan, expert execution, and no room for error. Whether you're dealing with an active infestation, need a termite inspection for a real estate transaction, or want preventive protection, our licensed technicians deliver reliable, eco-friendly solutions across Los Angeles and surrounding communities.
Structural wood damage caused by drywood termites
LA homes with wood framing are especially vulnerable
Drywood termites are the most common species in the Los Angeles area. They live inside wood and do not need contact with soil, making them especially dangerous in older homes with exposed wood framing. Drywood termite swarmers typically appear between September and November in Southern California.
Western subterranean termites nest underground and enter structures through mud tubes built from the soil to wood sources. They tend to swarm in spring, especially after rain. Because they attack from below, subterranean termites often go undetected until significant damage has occurred.
Think you might have termites? Don't wait — early detection can save thousands in repair costs.

Every termite problem is different. We offer a full range of treatment methods so we can match the right solution to your specific situation, property type, and budget.
The most effective treatment for widespread drywood termite infestations. We tent your home and apply fumigant that reaches every crack and void, eliminating hidden colonies. Requires 2-3 days of vacancy. Backed by our multi-year warranty.
A chemical-free option that raises temperature to 125°F+, lethal to termites at all life stages. Ideal for eco-conscious homeowners. No chemicals, no residue, and you can return home the same day.
Targeted treatment for isolated infestations. We inject termiticide directly into affected wood. Cost-effective for early-stage drywood termite activity. No tenting required and minimal disruption.
Essential defense against subterranean termites. Liquid termiticide around your foundation creates a barrier termites cannot cross without carrying the product back to the colony. Long-lasting perimeter protection.
Licensed inspectors deliver Wood Destroying Insect reports and Section 1 clearance documentation for real estate transactions. Fast turnaround to keep your escrow on track.
Prevention is the best defense. Annual plans include scheduled inspections and monitoring, with treatment included if activity is detected. Protect your home year-round and catch problems early.
