According to the American Science Dictionary, a termite is a soft-bodied, pale insect in the order Isopteran that lives in large colonies and feeds on wood. They can also cause extensive damage to homes and buildings.

If you think you have those pesky termites in your home or office, perhaps local resident Carl Vince, owner of Mountain View Termite Inc., can be of assistance.

Vince has several years of expertise in dealing with the nasty insects.

In 1996, he worked for a Pest Control business as a crewman. He later took and passed the State License Exam and earned a Branch 3 Termite Inspector License. Through years of valuable experience, Vince decided to open his own business and took an Operators exam. He operated a very successful Termite Inspection company in Riverside up until 2006.

The economy was so bad, its taken a toll on us, said Vince. Since we were doing 98 percent escrow certification/ real estate transaction, business slowed way down.

Vince, a Yucaipa resident opened a smaller business in Yucaipa. Along with his wife Libbie, 13 year-old son CJ and part-time employee Zach Riddell, they operate Mountain View Termite Inc.

Libbie said the family move to Yucaipa a few years back has been a good one.

I really enjoy working and living in Yucaipa and this community, said Libbie. Weve been active in Little League baseball and volunteering at my sons school. Its a good place.

The friendly family-run business encourages termite prevention and regular home maintenance. Vince suggests ways which homeowners can prevent termite infestations.

Since termites are attracted to moisture, avoid moisture accumulation near your homes foundation. Divert water away with properly functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks. Reduce humidity in crawl spaces with proper ventilation. Prevent shrubs, vines and other vegetation from growing over and covering vents.
