Ronin Pest Control removes and prevents termites in Los Angeles homes and businesses with Bora-Care, a borate wood treatment that stops termites for up to 30 years — without tenting, fumigation, or moving out.
Free inspection, same-day or next-day appointments, and a 60-day service guarantee on every job.
Why termites thrive in Los Angeles homes
Los Angeles’ dry, mild climate and its huge stock of older wood-framed homes — Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Revival duplexes, and mid-century construction from Hancock Park to Eagle Rock — make the city one of the highest-risk termite markets in California.
The Ronin approach: Drywood termites thrive in the dry heat and infest attic framing, window and door trim, and furniture without ever touching soil. Subterranean termites move in through irrigated lawns, planters, and slab cracks. Our technicians find active infestations homeowners had no idea existed, because termite damage hides behind walls until it's serious.
Bora-Care, not a tent
We treat exposed and accessible wood directly with Bora-Care instead of tenting the whole structure — no fumigant gas, no packing up your kitchen, no hotel stay, and no re-entry wait.
Termites to watch for in Los Angeles
Drywood termites: attic rafters, roof eaves, window frames, furniture — no soil contact needed. Look for pellet-like droppings and discarded wings.
Subterranean termites: foundations, crawl spaces, slab cracks, irrigated planters. Look for mud tubes on foundation walls.
Formosan termites: increasingly reported across coastal Southern California — large, aggressive colonies with rapid damage.

Frequently asked questions about termite control in Los Angeles
How much does termite treatment cost in Los Angeles?
Cost depends on the size of the structure and the extent of the infestation. Every inspection is free, and we give you an exact, no-obligation quote the same day, before any work begins.
Do you provide termite inspection reports for escrow or home sales?
Yes. We provide a full written report your real estate agent, lender, or escrow company can use as part of the sale. Let us know it’s for escrow when you book so we can prioritize timing.
What's the difference between soil treatment and Bora-Care?
Soil (liquid) treatments create a chemical barrier around the foundation that breaks down over time and needs to be reapplied. Bora-Care is absorbed into the wood itself, so it keeps working as long as the wood isn’t removed.
Can termites come back after treatment?
It’s rare with Bora-Care because the wood itself becomes toxic to termites long-term. Every job still includes a 60-day guarantee.
Can you treat during a renovation?
Yes — if framing, studs, or rafters are already exposed, we can apply Bora-Care directly and get full penetration before drywall goes back up.
How fast can you schedule an inspection in Los Angeles?
Most LA neighborhoods can get a same-day or next-day appointment. Call or text (310) 765-0509, especially during spring swarm season (roughly March–June).
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
No. Because Bora-Care is applied directly to wood rather than released as a fumigant gas, you can typically stay in the home during and after treatment.
Is Ronin's termite treatment eco-friendly?
Yes. We prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and borate-based treatments like Bora-Care, which pose significantly lower risk to people and pets than broad fumigation.
