If we only saw literally one termite, do we need to be concerned?

Question

We're demoing our kitchen for a remodel and though there is evidence of previous termite activity, it was tented several years ago, and all but one seems to be gone. Is this one lonely termite a harbinger of termites elsewhere? Is it time to call the professionals? We live in the San Jose area.

Answer 1

probably, but don't panic and get more than one opinion.

While u have open building parts, spray area with interior ant and roach spray just to let those little b******s know u are on to them.

Been building professionally over 30 years,and although I have seen bug chew before, I have never seen catastrophic building damage to match or warrant an exterminators wows

Answer 2

Hey if you have one you have a lot of them send for a pro to check it oout. But I bet yo hvae lots of them still. Not there but in other rooms in the house.
