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.
Keeping your family and pets protected from pests is important. When you choose Bad Termite for your pest control needs, you can trust that we only use treatments that have been approved by the EPA and are non-toxic and are designed to be eco-friendly and eliminate any pest colonies while keeping everyone safe.

An inspection cuts through the guesswork. In Altadena, CA, we sort what is happening now from what can wait. Active damage, entry points, and moisture risks rise to the top. That way, you are not chasing every small issue at once, just the ones that actually need attention first.
Bed bugs stay out of sight, tucked into seams, cracks, and furniture. They come out when the lights are off, so most people miss the early signs. A few unnoticed hitchhikers can move between rooms or items, and by the time bites show up, they have already settled in multiple spots around the home.
Termites pay attention to moisture more than anything. When indoor humidity rises and falls, some spots become more inviting than others. They shift toward areas that stay damp longer, then pull back when things dry out. That movement can change where activity shows up and how damage appears across different parts of the home.
A newer home and an older one do not get checked the same way. Older places can hide past fixes, loose joints, or small openings that are easy to miss. Odd layouts also matter. Split levels, tight crawl areas, or add-ons can block sightlines, so we spend more time working through those harder-to-reach spots.
Getting a place in Altadena, CA, does not mean everything behind the walls is in good shape. An inspection gives a real look at what you actually bought. Small issues, hidden damage, or early activity can show up. Catching those right away makes it easier to fix them before settling in fully.
Yes, we handle both sides of it. We find the problem, walk you through what it means, and point out what should be fixed and how. Having everything laid out in one place keeps the sale moving, instead of juggling different companies or trying to piece together answers during a time crunch.
In Altadena, CA, timing can make or break a deal. When inspections or reports drag, everything backs up fast. Getting answers quickly helps agents and brokers keep things moving and avoid last-minute pressure. It also gives everyone more time to sort out issues instead of rushing decisions near closing.
Bigger jobs can pile up fast, and cost is often what slows people down. Flexible payment options give you room to handle what needs fixing without putting it off. Instead of choosing between partial work and waiting, you can move ahead with the full job and spread out the cost in a way that works.
With multi-unit or rental properties, one problem rarely stays in one place. Units share walls, pipes, and attic space, so activity can travel without being obvious. That means we look beyond a single unit and check how everything connects, making sure issues are not quietly affecting neighboring spaces or common areas.
Bad Termite has been serving customers across Los Angeles and Ventura counties since 2003.
