Termites in Orange County: inspected, treated and repaired by companies that don’t sell you a tent you don’t need
Most Orange County homes meet termites eventually, and the first question is always whether it is a local treatment or a tent. We match you with termite companies licensed by the state board who inspect first and explain the options in writing.
What termite treatment costs in Orange County (2026)
Termite work comes in tiers: inspect, treat locally, or tent. Here is what Orange County homeowners typically pay.
Standard inspections are usually free in Orange County; an escrow (WDO) report runs $125 – $300.
Drilled and treated at the active spots; the fix for a limited drywood infestation.
A tent over an average home; larger homes $2,000 – $8,000, about $1 – $4 per square foot.
Fascia and eaves at the low end; rafters, subfloors and structural members at the top.
What moves the price
- Local spot treatment versus whole-house fumigation.
- Home size: fumigation is priced by cubic footage.
- Wood repairs are separate from treatment and depend on the damage found.
- Warranty or annual control contracts.

Termite Inspection & Treatment in Orange County: questions we get every week
Local treatment or tent?
Local treatment handles a known, limited drywood colony. Tenting is the only way to kill colonies you cannot reach; it is the answer when damage shows in several places or an inspection finds widespread activity.
How long is the tent up?
Two to three days. You, pets and plants are out; food and medicine are bagged. Fumigation leaves no residue.
Who regulates termite companies?
The California Structural Pest Control Board, not the contractors board. Inspection reports are filed with the state and can be looked up.
Do I need this for a home sale?
Most Orange County sales include a termite inspection and a clearance; the report costs $125 – $300 and any treatment is negotiated between buyer and seller.
