Your Home Is Too Important to Leave Termite Control to Chance
When termites move into a structure, they work quietly and fast, compromising wood framing, floor joists, and load-bearing elements long before the damage becomes visible. Termite control done right means more than a quick spray: it means a thorough inspection, the right treatment method for your specific situation, and products proven to eliminate colonies at the source.
Here is how the process works:
- A detailed inspection identifies active termite activity, entry points, and existing structural damage.
- Soil-based treatment with Termidor High-Efficiency Termiticide is applied where termites are active, using a method that is 50% more time-efficient than conventional options.
- Localized wood treatments with Bora-Care target specific affected areas with a termiticide that is low-risk for people and pets.
- Non-chemical heat treatments raise wood temperatures beyond what termites can survive, with no pesticides required.
- Full tent fumigation is available for severe infestations, encompassing the entire structure for complete elimination.

Certified Pest Control Technicians You Can Actually Trust
Not every pest control company holds its team to a high standard, but Crown & Shield Pest Solutions does. Our technicians are fully licensed and certified, going well beyond what the state requires to stay sharp on the latest treatment methods and pest behavior.
That extra training matters because pest control is not one-size-fits-all. Our technicians have the hands-on experience to assess your specific situation and build a treatment plan around it, not just a generic checklist.
Termidor Termite Treatment That Actually Works
If you've been told you have termites, or you're just not willing to take the risk, Termidor is one of the most effective termite treatment options available today. It's a soil-applied termiticide that works by spreading through a colony as termites move through treated zones and contact one another. They carry it back to the nest, and the whole colony is affected over time.
A professional termite inspection is the first step, and it gives us a clear picture of what we're dealing with before any treatment begins. From there, our exterminator applies Termidor in a way that creates a continuous treated zone around your home's foundation. It's not a repellent, so termites don't avoid it. They move through it, and that's exactly what makes it work so well.
Here's why Crown & Shield Pest Solutions relies on Termidor for liquid termite treatments:
- Transfers through contact between termites, reaching the entire colony
- 50% more time-efficient than conventional liquid treatments
- Long-lasting protection once applied around the structure
- Proven track record backed by extensive field testing and research
- Addresses our concerns about full colony elimination, not just surface activity
If you have questions about whether Termidor is right for your situation, we're standing by to walk you through it. Reach out to Crown & Shield Pest Solutions and let's talk through your options.
Warning Signs Your Home May Have a Termite Problem
Termites work through wood and structural materials slowly over time, which makes early detection critical. By the time visible damage appears, a colony may already be well established inside your walls, floors, or foundation.
Homeowners in California commonly report these warning signs before calling Crown & Shield Pest Solutions:
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped, even if the surface looks normal
- Mud tubes along your foundation, walls, or crawl space
- Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures after a termite swarm
- Small piles of frass (termite droppings) that resemble fine wood dust or pellets
- Bubbling or uneven paint that looks similar to water damage
- Doors and windows that suddenly fit tighter or feel warped
- Visible tunneling or galleries carved through exposed wood
Many of these signs appear only after a colony has had significant time to spread. Knowing what to look for puts you in a much stronger position to act before the damage grows.
