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.

IPM makes conversations easier because we can show you exactly what’s going on around your Sylmar property. Instead of vague explanations, we point out problem spots, explain why they matter, and talk through next steps. That kind of clarity helps you feel informed, ask better questions, and stay involved in the decisions.
Termites follow moisture, so we start by tracking where damp conditions build up. That could be a slow leak, trapped humidity, or water collecting near the founÇdation. Once we fix or reduce those spots, the space becomes far less inviting, which helps limit activity and lowers the chance of termites settling in.
Short-term fixes can pile up fast. When problems keep coming back, so do the bills. A longer plan looks at what is causing the activity and deals with it early. That cuts down repeat visits, helps avoid bigger repairs later, and keeps costs steadier instead of jumping around each season.
Bed bugs do not all show up at once. Some are eggs, some are tiny nymphs, and others are already feeding. If even a few are left behind, they grow, and the problem returns. We plan around that cycle, so each stage gets handled, and nothing is left to start things up again.
They can mess with more than your skin. People start losing sleep, checking sheets at night, and feeling on edge in their own room. Even a small issue can take over your routine. We track where they are hiding and deal with it fast so your home feels normal again.
We keep things focused, not heavy. Instead of soaking everything, we go after the spots pests actually use. We also deal with why they showed up, like gaps or moisture. That way, we get solid results without flooding your home with chemicals or turning it into a full spray zone unnecessarily.
Every bed bug job starts with us walking the space and figuring out where activity is actually happening. We look at how the rooms are set up and how bugs may be moving. From there, we map out a plan that fits that setup, not a one-size treatment that misses key hiding spots.
Yes, catching bed bugs early makes a big difference. When we spot them near the source, we can keep them from moving into other rooms. That keeps the job smaller and easier to handle. Waiting gives them time to spread, which turns a simple fix into a much bigger and longer problem.
We show you what we see, not just talk about it. If pests are getting in through a gap or settling in a certain spot, we point it out and explain it in plain words. In Sylmar, CA, this helps homeowners connect the dots and understand what is really going on inside.
Bad Termite has been serving customers across Los Angeles and Ventura counties since 2003.
