I had some repairs made yesterday before tenting house and they were great. Danny was kind and easy to talk to. Explained the process. Juan and Mario were great and very detailed. They cleaned up after and even picked up a pile of leaves I had left in a pile from gardening the day before. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family.
The excellent reviews are no lie! This company was professional, knowledgeable, and super detailed from the minute they showed up to give an estimate to the the time they finished everything and left my house. Josh gave an accurate estimate and scoured the home inside out to ensure he didn’t overlook anything.
When purchasing my home bad termite did the inspection one of the repairs was a exterior door from the garage to the back yard they installed a cheap interior door not sure how they sleep at night nobody is that stupid they know what they are doing and it is wrong they refused to install a exterior grade door even when call out on it.

Eco-friendly pest control is a part of preserving our ecosystems and maintaining biodiversity. Biodiversity, crucial for ecosystem resilience, human health, and environmental balance, can be threatened by unchecked pest populations. However, all pests contribute to ecosystems in their own way, and their sudden removal would have damaging ripple effects.
Traditional chemical-based pest control can harm non-target species, pollute soil and waterways, and disrupt ecological balance.
In contrast, green-friendly approaches aim to control pests without these negative impacts, supporting the complex web of life that sustains biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) embodies this philosophy by combining preventive measures, biological control, and mechanical barriers to manage pests sustainably. This strategy focuses on preventing infestations, leveraging natural predators, and using non-chemical interventions to minimize environmental harm.By adopting IPM and eco-friendly practices, we can protect our ecosystems, preserve biodiversity, and have a healthier planet while still effectively managing pests.

While Do-it-yourself pest control can be tempting, most homeowners and business owners lack the scientific knowledge and training needed to treat pest problems correctly. Treating a pest problem requires identifying correctly the pest species and developing a course of treatment that takes the insect’s biology and habits into account. It is also important that the treatment materials used are handled properly to ensure effective treatment. A professional pest control operator has the training and expertise to do these technical operations in all security.
Fungus & Dry Rot Control in Los AngelesFungus and dry rot are wood attacking organisms which consume organic matter. Fungus or dry rot produce spores which are like tiny seeds that are distributed by wind and water. Moist areas will support fungal growth and dry rot. To minimize dry rot and fungus, it’s helpful to keep your roof in prime condition and keep all exterior wood primed, painted and properly caulked.
Dry Rot & Fungus RemovalFungus and dry rot damage must be completely removed and replaced. If any fungus or dry rot wood is left behind, the problem will continue to spread. The moisture condition must also be fixed to provide a permanent solution. Bad Termite’s carpenters are highly skilled in all aspects of construction. If you have dry rot or fungus damage, Bad Termite will always work to correct the moisture condition. When wood is replaced on the exterior of your home, it will always be primed to provide maximum protection against future fungal attacks. We will also paint any primed areas to match your home for an additional fee. We will recommend all other corrections that are needed to stop fungus or dry rot that was noted during your inspection.
In the last few years, citric acid – also known as orange oil, has become a popular termite control method. While orange oil is cleverly advertised as “safe” and “organic,” it has no place in your home, and could prove irritating or even lethal if the correct situation is presented. Orange oil is extremely flammable when applied to wood, but will not catch fire in a standing puddle. Orange oil wicks into wood, this wicking action allows the product to reach maximum volatility. Once orange oil has been used on a timber, it needs only a minor spark before causing catastrophic damage. For this reason orange oil should not be used near electrical sources, heating and cooling units, or in any other situation that may routinely reach over 120 degrees – such as a wall void or attic.
Orange Oil Is Ineffective For Termite Control!Orange oil is a contact based termiticide, thus it has to saturate the infected wood to effectively control termites. If proper saturation is not reached in all affected wood members, the termites will not be eliminated. Orange oil is billed as being an organic, or natural method of controlling termites. While orange oil may be organic, that doesn’t mean it lasts – orange oil biodegrades in 21 days and has no residual value after that time. Due to orange oil’s ineffectiveness, termites that are present 3 weeks after the treatment will continue feeding on your home unopposed.
Orange Oil Is Toxic To Breathe!In addition to orange oil’s shoddy termite control record, orange oil releases an astronomically high level of volatile organic compounds which are harmful to the environment and unsafe to breathe. Orange oil is also a major marine pollutant! At Bad Termite, we perform in-depth research all the products we use. We are conscious of the environment and understand that some products are truly unsafe to use on a structure, despite how they are advertised. Contact us today for termite control methods that won’t threaten the safety of your home.
If your property shows heavy signs of drywood termite infestation or if portions of the infested structure are not accessible by our licensed inspector, a recommendation for fumigation may be on your termite report. All of our fumigations are subcontracted. We use only the most trustworthy, safe, and professional company for fumigations in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Fumigation ProcessYour home will be sealed off from the outside air using a fumigation tent. The tent creates a sealed environment which traps the fumigants allowing them to work throughout the structure. After the tent has been checked for fitment, gasses like Vikane or Zythor are pumped into the structure where they will remain for several hours. After some time, the tent is removed, ventilating the building. After your home has been cleared by your Bad Termite technician, it will be safe to re-enter the structure.
No Move Out Termite Control MethodsNot looking for the inconvenience of bagging food items and moving out of your home? We offer several secondary local treatment methods which can completely eliminate accessible termites infestations. Your termite inspector will inform you of whether local treatments are right for you.
