Response from Hi Tech Termite Control Of The Bay Area
Just to clear up any confusion. Our policy is if you have termite infestations and the home is not for sale then we can offer you a free inspection. If you don't know and we need to check the entire home for infestations there is a charge.

I called the exterminator who had done the previous work, and unfortunately found that he had passed away in the interim and another company had taken over his business. They came out and inspected and gave me an estimate for the work. I then called Hi Tech for a second estimate based on their recommendation in A.L. and their proximity to my house. Hi Tech did a complete home inspection and their recommendation was considerably different from the other company and half the cost. They proposed injecting a localized pesticide and microwaving, and they said that removing sheet rock and sub-flooring (as recommended by the other company) would be unnecessary given the age of the infestation, the age of the construction, and the type of pesticide that they would use. They explained that the pesticide that they were using would not be detected by the termites, so the ones that survived the microwaving would continue to eat the wood and then take the pesticide back to the queen and other members of the colony eventually killing them. They backed up their work with 3-years of annual inspections and a warranty that covered any future evidence of termites anywhere in the house. All the work was completed in a little over a half a day. The technician, Jason, was prompt, courteous (a quality shared by the entire staff that we dealt with at Hi Tech from the receptionist to the inspector), and informative. He worked at a steady pace, laid out clean canvas tarps to protect our carpets, and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was completed, and sprayed both the attic and crawl space with Timbor to repel future termites. In time we'll see if they were able to truly eradicate all the termites, but for now I can say that it was very satisfying to deal with such a professional company. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: I discovered an infestation of dry wood termites in the floor and wall at the back of my house. This was about two years after dealing with another infestation in the same general area. Although it may have been a completely new infestation, I was concerned that it might have been the remnants of the old colony.

Inspected entire house for damage, including difficult to access attic and crawl space. Diagrammed all places that needed treatment. Arrived on time for treatment appointment, and used both microwave equipment and liquid treatments. For the liquid, they drilled small holes in the wood, injected the poison, then covered the holes with colored putty. Very clean job. They make extra effort to keep the house clean, like wearing booties inside, and putting down plastic next to the access points for the attic and crawl space. The warranty is for three years, which is quite useful. We found some termite damage around a window since the original work, and they came right out to treat the area for free. Also had some dry rot on the roofing trim. Hired Hi-Tech to replace this wood. They used a sub-contractor that did poor work, sloppy painting, and left nails on the ground including in our driveway. I wouldn't use Hi-Tech's subcontractors again. Overall a good experience for termite treatment. Nice people, punctual, easy to schedule, and good warranty
Description of Work: Inspected entire house, inside and out, for damage from termites Treated infected areas with microwave and poison, depending on the location Replaced some dry rot wood in the roof that had termite damage. They used a sub-contractor for this Came back once to treat a new infestation for free, under the three year warranty

Lucas came out and did the inspection and price quote. We agreed to their job estimate. Miguel and Stewart arrived ontime at 9am and completed the job around 1130am. They were very professional and thorough in their drilling walkway, patio and garage concrete, injecting holes with Premise and filling the holes with a plug. Then they treated the outside perimeter of house with a four inch trench in the dirt and sprayed. Most of their time was spent drilling through the concrete every twelve inches, the plugs are removable if future treatment is necessary. The hardest part for us was clearing a three foot area around the perimeter of the house and inside the garage.
Description of Work: Inspection and treatment for subterranean termites. Treatment with Premise 75, drilling through slab and trenching along the foundation wall. We have a three year Warranty with inspection.

This is a relatively non-invasive termite extermination method, but I think we cannot know for a while if it was completely effective. At this point after 2 months, we see no signs of termites. There were 2 reschedules, once for the estimate, once for the treatment. Both times were illnesses in their small crew. We got a discount, however, to make up for the need to reschedule.
Description of Work: Termites at specific locations in our living room, attic and at points in the house fascia were eliminated.

The treatment has worked. The cats have not been back as far as I can tell. This guy was smart and had an easy solution for us. It took him about 1 hour to do the work and to visit some with me. I would use him again.
Description of Work: I was having a problem with cats getting under my house to stay dry. They had several litters of kittens under our house. We were able to get rid of all the kittens, but the adult cats kept coming back and having more kittens, so I called this company to come help. They put chuan powder around the area to keep them from coming back.

They have been great to work with. Very responsive. Works well with pets.
Description of Work: Five years ago, we had a swarming termite problem. We called various pest control firms and got quotes from all. While Hi Tech Termites was one of the lower bids, John Paul (the owner) was very responsive and helped with various ideas on how to deal with the problem. Not just tenting. But other ideas on how to treat local problems. It was $1800 for the original work and that included a three year guarantee and annual inspections during those years. great deal! Since then, we pay a very small annual feed $300 for continued inspections and treatments.
