Termites Don’t Care About Your Menu

Whether you run a casual café, busy diner, or upscale bistro, termites aren’t picky. If they find moisture and wood—like subflooring, framing, or wooden counters—they’ll move in without hesitation. Proactive termite control helps restaurants stay code-compliant and operational. Seasonal checks and regular termite inspection reduce the risk of sudden disruptions. Here’s when to check for termites and how termites affect business properties.

Staff Can Help Catch It Early

Your kitchen staff are on the front lines every day. Train them to recognize termite warning signs like scattered wings, sawdust-like droppings, or soft wood in baseboards and walls. Prompt reporting leads to faster treatment and less termite damage repair. Use this guide to spotting a termite infestation and discover why professional monitoring is essential for food-service businesses.

What is the Four Season approach?

Our four season approach targets the seasonal pest problem locally in Southern California. Each season and climate triggers particular pests to be active and to look for harborage. However, it is common to see ants, spiders and rodents year round.

WINTER

Warmth indoors attracts pests into your living spaces; rain and cold weather drive ants, rodents, silverfish and spiders inside. Pests can also be brought inside on plants, firewood, and other items. Rodents are especially problematic due to colder temperatures outside.

SPRING

Warmer spring weather invites bees, Argentine ants into your home and yard. Other common spring pests include: termite swarmers, carpenter ants, fire ants, pill bugs, spiders, aphids, wasps, fleas, ticks, box elder bugs, gophers and moles.

SUMMER

High temperature is conducive for bees, wasps, and yellow jackets, as well as ants, earwigs, millipedes, crickets, springtails, brown widow spiders, black widow spiders and water beetles. The summer weather also spikes the activity of bed bugs, fleas, ticks and German cockroach, scorpions especially in new development areas and in homes located in foothill like surroundings.

FALL

As temperatures drop and cooler weather approaches, orb weaver, spiders, beetles, rodents, stink bugs, box elder beetles and other overwintering pests begin to move indoors . These pests use walls, voids, basements and attics as winter retreats. Termites are very active this time of the year, so too are gophers. It is particularly important to be on the lookout for droppings and gnaw marks, indicating rodent infestation. Rodent control and exclusion work begin to significantly trend up during the fall.
