How Termidor Works to Eliminate Termites
When termites get into a home, they rarely come alone. A single colony can cause serious structural damage before most homeowners even notice a problem. That is why a professional termite inspection matters, and why choosing the right treatment from the start can save a lot of money and stress down the road.
Termidor is the go-to solution for termite treatment because of how it works. It spreads through a colony by contact and transfer, meaning termites carry it back to others they have not yet met. The colony does not just get controlled, it gets eliminated. Termidor is also non-repellent, so termites cannot detect or avoid it. That makes it far more effective than many older treatment options.
Here is why Crown & Shield Pest Solutions relies on Termidor to protect our customers:
- Termidor eliminates entire colonies, not just individual termites
- Non-repellent formula means termites cannot detect or avoid it
- Works through contact and transfer between termites
- Proven and trusted by pest control professionals nationwide
- Long-lasting protection after a single professional application

Warning Signs Your Home May Have a Termite Infestation
Termites can move through the smallest entry points in a structure, including foundation cracks, expansion joints, and gaps in mortar. By the time most homeowners notice a problem, a colony has already been quietly working through the wood in your home for some time.
Crown & Shield Pest Solutions helps homeowners in El Cerrito spot the early indicators before the damage gets out of hand. Knowing what to look for can make all the difference.
Common signs of termite activity that California homeowners should watch for:
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped, even if the surface looks fine
- Mud tubes along your foundation, walls, or crawl space framing
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures after a swarm
- Bubbling or uneven paint that resembles water damage
- Frass, which is a fine, powdery material that drywood termites push out of their galleries
- Tight-fitting doors or windows that were not previously difficult to open
- Visible damage to wood beams, joists, or flooring beneath your home
If any of these warning signs sound familiar, your home deserves a closer look from someone who knows exactly what to find and where to find it.
