About Turlock, CA & Our Pest Control Services
Turlock was founded on December 22, 1871. Construction of the Central Pacific Railroad at that time had reached a station named after Turlough in County Mayo, Ireland. Thus, the new railroad town was named Turlock. While it grew to be a relatively prosperous and busy hub of activity throughout the end of the 19th century, it was not incorporated as a city until February 15, 1908. By that time intensive agricultural development surrounded most of the city (agriculture remains a major economic force in the region in current times).

Termite Treatment in Turlock, CA
Wood eating termites feast upon decomposed vegetation and trees and shrubs within the dirt. A wood eating termite’s jaws are capable of tearing pieces of cellulose substance. This capacity is the thing that will cause worry in our dwellings. A normal nest of underground termites may well consume 16 grams of wood on a daily basis. This is about 13 lbs. of wood annually. Subterranean termite laborers only measure from 1 cm to a few millimeters in size, their particular eating routine is effective at producing costly property damage. House footings, furnishings, cabinets, and even magazines are eating areas for termites. Subterranean termite homes are generally formed in the earth. In these piles, termites construct elaborate tunnel systems and then use dirt tunnels in which they will access above ground wood resources. Drywood termites dwell within the hardwood that they consume as well as moving into and infesting walls and home furniture. Termites are typically referred to as silent destroyers, as they will often be hiding at home or in your lawn without any indication of damage.
Ant Pest Control in Turlock, CA
There are around 270 different types of ants in California. Ants are more prone to infiltrate homes during cold, wet conditions, such as the winter, when they are looking for a warm place to dwell. The Argentine ant is a widespread intruder in Northern California. Argentine Ants may be found in cities because they have a constant source of water. Argentine ant colonies are generally made up of 300 queens and 1,000 workers. When a threat is sensed, they do not create a permanent home and instead relocate to a different region.
Carpenter ants are a large species that may be found all throughout Northern California. They chew through wood in the same way as termites do, but instead of consuming it, they utilize it to gain entrance to your home and create their nests. Carpenter ants can enter your house through decaying or damp firewood, which is excellent for breeding. Carpenter ants are capable of biting people owing to their size. Carpenter ants are so hostile that if they suspect termites are causing structural damage, they will fight them. Carpenter ants may cause major structural damage to a structure if left untreated, putting the people who reside there in danger.
