A termite inspection is a visual inspection of a home for evidence of wood-destroying insects. Subterranean termites homes are usually formed in soil. Within these mounds, termites build elaborate tunnel systems and mud tunnels through which they access above-ground food sources. Drywood termites live within the wood they consume and oftentimes infest walls and furniture.
A termite inspection is typically an expense borne by the buyer, but it's worth the price. Termites eat wood from the inside out. That means they leave very little evidence of their presence until an infestation is pretty far along. Because the warning signs can be subtle, it will probably take an expert to recognize them.
Drill and Treat: Drill small holes into the infested wood, and then inject registered termiticide into the termite galleries. The termiticide will follow the galleries, killing present termites. Applying Tim-bor, a registered termiticide, onto bare, unpainted wood. As a "pre-treat", you will not have to worry about fumigating in the future as the product is absorbed into the wood.
Bedbugs are bloodsucking insects and the blood they suck is yours. Rarely, will they use a pet as a host. They are usually nocturnal, active at night just before dawn, with a peak feeding period 1 - 2 hours before sunrise. Bed Bugs may attempt to feed at other times and have been observed feeding during the day.
Honeybee hives have long provided humans with honey and beeswax. Such commercial uses have spawned a large beekeeping industry, though many species still occur in the wild. Carpenter bees prefer unpainted, weathered wood, especially softer varieties such as redwood, cedar, cypress and pine. Painted or pressure-treated wood is much less susceptible to attack.

I called American searching for help when I misunderstood how my current company was dealing with my problem. Even though I am not a client Tamara spent a great deal of time researching and talking with me about the issue. She even connected with Thrasher Pest....my contracted company....and they worked together to come up with an answer. Tamara identified a probable pest coming from my trees that I can now deal with. I am so impressed with both of these companies and their efforts to help.....especially Tamara and the time she spent helping someone who was not even a client. Thank You!

Hard to find these days.

Excellent customer service. We've had our house sprayed for ants for over 10 years and we've never had a problem. Our technician Robert always responds to our requests quickly and consistently. And their support team is very helpful. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love American Pest Control. They have great customer service. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. They have been taking care of the pest control where I live and are great at it. My neighbors and I have never had any problems. They recently did a fumingation for termites at my complex. Everything we had to do was clearly explained to us. One of the girls from the office brought me extra fume bags to put food in after she was off for the day. The people at American Pest Control really went above and beyond for me and my neighbors. I would highly recommend them.

IN MY OPINION, IF YOU VALUE YOUR BELONGINGS, DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT LET THIS COMPANY DO A TENT FUMIGATION ON YOUR BUILDING!!!!!!
I will attempt to keep this review short and to the point.
Clint, an employee of American Pest Control, attended a pre-fumigation meeting for the residents of the building I live in. I asked him if the extremely toxic Vikane gas would harm any of my belongings (except, of course, the ones on the list we were given of things to remove from the house or put in special bags) and he said that it would do no harm to my belongings. But, as you have probably guessed, it DID
