Before the colony does another season of damage, it helps to know what you are looking at. Termite activity is not always obvious, but there are concrete signs that point toward a problem worth investigating.
Common signs include:
Seeing one or more of these does not mean the worst-case scenario has already played out. What it means is that an inspection is the right next move. Catching activity early limits how far it spreads and how much structural wood is affected. A careful inspection on every job means the extent of activity is mapped before any treatment is quoted, so nothing is assumed and nothing is missed.
When the inspector arrives, the guesswork ends. A termite inspection covers the areas where termites are most likely to be active or where conditions make activity likely: accessible wood framing, the foundation perimeter, crawlspace and subfloor where accessible, slab edges, and the attic where entry allows. The goal is a complete picture of what is present and how far it has spread before a treatment recommendation is made.
The inspection also looks at conducive conditions. Moisture problems, wood-to-soil contact, and areas of poor ventilation are noted alongside any termite findings, because those conditions often explain why termites established where they did. A thorough WDO inspection will also identify other wood-destroying insects such as carpenter ants or wood-boring beetles, since those can be present alongside termites or independently.
The inspection is the foundation of every treatment decision. Nothing is quoted until the inspection is complete.
Selling a home in Santa Clara County, buying one, or working through a refinance? A WDO inspection, which stands for wood-destroying organism inspection, is what buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and lenders often ask about at the point of sale or closing. It is the standard California term for the inspection that covers termites and other wood-destroying organisms.
Termite inspections are booked around your schedule, so coordinating around a transaction timeline is straightforward. Call and ask about a WDO inspection when you are ready to move forward. Whether you are the buyer, the seller, or the agent coordinating on behalf of a client, the process starts with a single phone call.
No matter how deep the termites have tunneled, the treatment that follows depends on what the inspection confirms, not on a one-size approach applied before the facts are in. Campbell and the broader Bay Area see both drywood and subterranean termites. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself and do not need soil contact. Subterranean termites come up through the soil and are typically identified by the mud tubes they build to travel. An inspection identifies which type is present, and the treatment plan follows from that.
This area's construction types and termite pressure are familiar ground. The mix of older wood-frame homes, slab foundations, and crawlspace construction throughout the area shapes how inspections are conducted and which treatments are most applicable. A protected foundation. A clear report. A plan you can follow.
For subterranean termites, the workhorse treatment is a liquid termiticide barrier. This involves trenching and treating the soil around and under the foundation with a non-repellent termiticide, creating a treated zone that subterranean termites move through without detecting it. The colony is affected over time as termites carry the product back.
Products are applied according to the label. Before the visit, the technician explains any preparation needed so the treatment goes as planned.
In-ground bait stations are placed at intervals around the property perimeter. Termites find the stations during their normal foraging, and the bait is carried back to the colony. Over time, the colony is reduced. The stations remain in place as an ongoing early-warning system, flagging new activity before it becomes a larger problem.
Bait systems are often paired with a liquid barrier treatment for more comprehensive coverage, particularly on properties with a history of subterranean termite pressure.
When a drywood termite infestation has spread through the structure, fumigation is the treatment that covers the entire building at once. The structure is sealed with tarps and treated so that every accessible area is reached, including wall voids, attic framing, and floor systems that localized treatments cannot reliably penetrate.
Fumigation requires preparation steps before the visit. Those steps are explained in detail on the call and again before the work begins, so there are no gaps in what to expect.
For early-stage or contained drywood activity in accessible wood, borate wood treatment and localized spot treatments are a practical fit. Borate products are applied directly to wood and work as a long-term deterrent in the treated area. Spot treatments address specific, identified areas of activity without requiring a whole-structure approach.
These options are most appropriate when the inspection confirms that the infestation is limited in scope and the affected wood is accessible.
For new construction in Campbell and the surrounding area, treating the soil before a slab is poured is the most effective point in the process to establish a termite barrier. Once the slab is down, access to the soil beneath it is limited. A pre-construction soil treatment addresses that window directly, protecting the structure before it is built.
Builders, contractors, and property owners can call to discuss scheduling around the construction timeline.
Booking your inspection takes one phone call. Keeping the protection in place over time takes one visit a year. An annual inspection and monitoring plan covers the re-inspection of the structure, a check of any bait stations in place, and a note on any new conducive conditions that have developed since the last visit.
The value of an annual visit is early detection. Termite activity found in its early stages is a smaller problem to address than activity that has had a full season or more to spread. For property managers, landlords, and commercial property owners, an annual plan also provides a documented record of inspection activity. We're ready when the termites aren't welcome anymore.
Treatment type, structure size, and the extent of the infestation all affect what a job costs. There is no single number that applies to every situation, which is why the price is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. The caller is told what the quote covers, what the treatment involves, and what to expect before the visit.
Moisture problems pointed out along with termite findings means the inspection report reflects the full picture, and that full picture is what the quote is based on. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer.

The work covers Campbell and the communities nearby throughout Santa Clara County, including San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Monte Sereno, and Los Altos. If you are in the area and dealing with a termite problem, or if you need a WDO inspection for a transaction, a call is the fastest way to confirm coverage and get a quote.
We'll find the right treatment for your home.
Yes, and the warm, dry climate here is part of why. Drywood termites do not need soil contact to establish a colony, which means they can work through attic framing, window trim, and wall cavities without any of the soil-level signs homeowners typically associate with termites. Pressure in this area is real enough that a termite inspection is worth scheduling even when the signs are not obvious.

The process starts with a phone call to (669) 359-4289.
Describe what you are seeing and we will scope the job on the call, explain what an inspection involves, and confirm the rate before anything is scheduled. The price is settled before a visit is booked, so you know what you are committing to before we arrive.
The treatment depends on what the inspection confirms, not on a default approach applied before the facts are in. A subterranean colony working up through the soil calls for a liquid termiticide barrier or bait and monitoring stations, while a widespread drywood infestation that has spread through multiple areas of the structure is handled with whole-structure fumigation. We do not recommend a treatment until the inspection maps what is present and how far it has reached.
The time varies with the treatment type and the size of the structure. A liquid barrier treatment around a standard foundation typically takes several hours. Whole-structure fumigation requires the structure to be sealed and treated over a period of days, with preparation steps beforehand that are explained on the call. The scope and the timeline are both covered when you call for a quote.
Treatment addresses the current infestation and, in the case of a liquid barrier or bait system, establishes a treated zone that works against new subterranean activity. An annual inspection and monitoring plan is how ongoing protection is maintained, because soil conditions shift, new pressure can develop from neighboring properties, and bait stations need to be checked between inspections. A single treatment is the fix for what is there now. The annual plan is how new activity gets caught early.
Each annual visit re-inspects the structure, checks any bait stations in place, and notes new conducive conditions such as moisture changes or wood-to-soil contact points that have developed since the last visit. The same areas covered in the initial inspection are reviewed again: foundation perimeter, crawlspace, subfloor, and visible framing. It is a scheduled check that keeps the structure from going another year without a trained set of eyes on it.
A yearly inspection is the standard for a home in an area with consistent termite pressure like Campbell and the surrounding South Bay. Annual visits catch new activity before it has time to spread, and they give property owners a documented record of inspection history.
If you have spotted signs of activity or have not had an inspection in more than a year, a call to (669) 359-4289 is the right starting point.
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial property clients throughout Campbell and Santa Clara County. Treatment plans are scoped to the structure, so a multi-unit building or a commercial property gets an approach suited to its layout and the termite type confirmed by the inspection.
Call (669) 359-4289 to discuss the property and get a quote.
It helps to note what you have seen, where you saw it, and roughly when. Mud tubes along the foundation, frass near baseboards, discarded wings by a window, or hollow-sounding wood are all useful details. You do not need to identify the termite type yourself. The inspection is what confirms that, and the more clearly you can describe the location and the symptoms, the easier it is to scope the job on the call.
Campbell Termite Company is available every day from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
