About this Website

At Morse Termite and Pest Control we enjoy our work. After over 36 years in the field we still find new and interesting conditions almost every day. And our customers are wonderful! In those friendships we find most of the satisfaction in what we do.

We believe that people want to make good decisions about protecting the structures they own. When wood destroying insects or other pest problems are involved, we believe you are entitled to a clear, unvarnished look at what's involved and what's available. That is what this website is all about.

It is our goal to provide you with as much information as you want about what we do, about the insects and organisms we are dealing with, and what to expect when shopping for termite control work. We are convinced that the more you know, the better we look. That simple business philosophy has been, and continues to be, the key to our success.

I usually have a camera with me in the field just because I never know from day to day just what I might see. So check back in once in a while. You'll find new pictures and updates. We also plan to add new pages and links to other sites that we believe would be helpful to you.

If you have comments or suggestions about how this site can be improved, please go to the Contact Us page. Send us an e-mail with your thoughts. We really do appreciate any comments we receive, positive or negative.

Thanks for visiting us!

Why choose us?

Here are ten good reasons to choose Morse Termite and Pest Control for your termite control service work:

• Termite control is our mainstay - We started as a termite control specialty company and it is still the backbone of our business. As a result we are good at it.
   
• Effective - We take the time to do the job right. And we don't mind using a more costly product or a more time-consuming technique if that means getting the problem
  solved the first time.
   
• Affordable - We are very competitive. When you consider the quality of work, the products used and the guarantees we give with our work, you will find that Morse Termite and Pest Control offers you the very best value in this market area.
   
• Convenient - We make every effort to work with your schedule. When you set an appointment with us we will be there. If for any reason we are delayed we will call you immediately. That is a promise! And you may pay using your major credit card (VISA or MasterCard) or by check or cash.
   
• No Mess - We clean up after ourselves!
   
• Local - The Fresno-Clovis area is our home. We are proud of this community and we support various local organizations. We are a proud member of the Clovis District Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau of the San Joaquin Valley and the California Structural Pest Control Operator's Association.
   
• Experienced - Over 36 years of practical experience has prepared us to deal with almost any termite control problem. And we know how to do it the right way - the first time!
   
• Responsible - Our company and our technicians are licensed, bonded and we are fully insured. While the state law only requires technicians to obtain the basic Applicator's license, we require our technicians to study and pass the examination for the much more demanding Field Representative's license in their field of work. We follow all proper precautions in the use of any products we apply showing due regard for our customers and their pets, our employees, and for the environment.
   
• Ethics - We believe that, "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." These are words to build a business and a life upon.
   
• All work is fully guaranteed - If the termites or other pest problems persist, so will we! If additional service work is needed it will always be done promptly, cheerfully and at no extra charge. (Our contract with you clearly explains how this works.) Following treatment to control subterranean termites most homes qualify for our Guardian© control service program. This service program provides low cost, long term peace of mind. Our structural fumigations are guaranteed for two full years.
