Termite Control in Whittier — Frequently Asked Questions
Whittier's termite situation is anchored by Uptown — the historic district contains Craftsman bungalows and Mission Revival homes built between 1910 and 1940, representing the oldest housing stock in the Gateway Cities area. Original redwood and Douglas fir lumber at 80–100+ years of age is prime drywood termite habitat. The hillside areas add subterranean risk from clay-rich soil. These are the questions Whittier homeowners ask about termite control.
