Termite Control in Sacramento, CA —
Fast, Licensed, and Guaranteed
Sacto Termite Control protects Sacramento Valley homes from subterranean, drywood, and Formosan termites. Free inspections, same-day availability, and a written warranty on every job.
Do You Actually Have Termites — or Something That Just Looks Like Them?
Most Sacramento homeowners who call us aren't sure. They've found wings on a windowsill, wood that sounds hollow when they knock on it, or thin mud tubes climbing a garage wall. Sometimes it's termites. Sometimes it's ants. Either way, the uncertainty is stressful — especially when your home is involved.
At Sacto Termite Control, we've inspected thousands of Sacramento properties. We know the difference between a false alarm and a colony that's been quietly eating through your floor joists for two years. We'll tell you the truth, show you exactly what we found, and never sell you a treatment you don't need.
Sacramento and the surrounding valley — Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Davis, and everywhere in between — sit in one of the most active termite zones in California. The combination of clay soil, seasonal flooding, mature trees, and older housing stock makes this region particularly vulnerable. That's not a scare tactic; it's just the local reality.
If something looks off, the smartest move is a free inspection. No obligation, no pressure, no upselling.

Frequent Questions About Termite Control in Sacramento
Straight answers to what Sacramento homeowners ask most before calling us.
Termites have straight antennae, equal-length wings they shed, and no pinched waist. Flying ants have bent antennae, wings of different lengths, and a distinctly narrow midsection. The more reliable indicators in a Sacramento home are mud tubes along your foundation slab or piers, hollow-sounding wood when you tap on it, or small pellet-shaped droppings near wood trim or baseboards. Those signs don't come from ants.
Prevention plans should happen annually to catch new termite activity early. After active treatment, we recommend inspections every 3 to 6 months for the first year, then annually. If you have a termite bond, annual visits are included. Formosan infestations may need more frequent monitoring because colonies rebuild quickly. Your inspector will recommend a schedule based on your specific situation.
No-tent spot treatments typically range from $300 to $900 depending on the size of the affected area and how accessible it is. A full Termidor liquid barrier treatment for a standard Sacramento home averages between $900 and $2,200. Tent fumigation runs from $1,800 to $4,500 based on square footage. Inspections at Sacto Termite Control are free, and the inspection fee is credited toward any treatment you proceed with.
Western subterranean termites are the most widespread in the Sacramento Valley. They live underground and reach your home through mud tubes or direct soil-to-wood contact. Western drywood termites are common in older homes in Midtown, East Sacramento, and Land Park. Formosan termites are less common but far more destructive and are increasingly found near waterways and delta-adjacent neighborhoods.
Termidor liquid barrier treatments show measurable colony reduction within 30 to 90 days, as foraging termites carry the active ingredient back to the colony. In-ground bait stations typically work within 60 to 120 days. Tent fumigation eliminates all termites present in the structure during the 24 to 72 hour treatment window — the fastest option for severe infestations.
Yes. California as a whole is classified as a high termite pressure state, and the Sacramento Valley is among the more active regions within California. The combination of warm dry summers, wet winters, clay soils, seasonal flooding near river corridors, and a large stock of older homes creates sustained termite pressure year-round. Homes built before 1980 are at particularly elevated risk.
Rarely. Standard homeowners insurance policies in California exclude termite damage because it falls under preventable home maintenance rather than sudden accidental damage. Some policies cover secondary damage — for example, if a termite-weakened beam causes a ceiling collapse that damages belongings. Reviewing your specific policy with your insurer is the only way to know what's covered.
We offer ten services covering every termite situation Sacramento homeowners face: free termite inspections, Termidor liquid barrier treatments, subterranean and drywood termite control, Formosan termite protocols, tent fumigation, no-tent spot treatments, annual prevention plans, pre-construction soil treatments, and structural damage repair after colony removal.
