Drywood & subterranean treatment — local, fumigation, and bait
Termite Control & Treatment in Orange County
Coastal Orange County is heavy drywood-termite country. We treat with the right method for the situation — localized treatment, full fumigation, or subterranean bait and barrier work.
Termite control from Trident Pest Control treats active drywood and subterranean termite infestations using the method that fits the situation — localized treatment, full-structure fumigation, or subterranean bait stations and soil treatment. Work is performed under California Structural Pest Control Board License #PR8662, and we can coordinate Section 1 clearance documentation for escrow when treatment we perform clears the original findings.

Common pests we treat
Identification, signs of infestation, and what makes each one worth professional treatment.
Subterranean Termites
Reticulitermes hesperus
Soil-dwelling termites that build mud tubes from the ground into wood — driven by foundation moisture in OC.
Drywood Termites
Incisitermes minor
Wood-dwelling termites that don't need soil — endemic to coastal OC framing, with fall swarms.
Why termite control matters in Orange County
Within roughly ten miles of the coast, Orange County drywood termites are not a question of if but how much — they swarm September through November and colonize attic framing, eaves, and window and door frames. Subterranean termites add ground-up pressure, especially where there's moisture or earth-to-wood contact.
There's no single right termite treatment. A small, accessible drywood pocket can be handled with localized treatment; widespread drywood activity calls for full fumigation; subterranean infestations need bait and soil work. Matching method to situation is what separates a real fix from a temporary one.
For real estate transactions, most California lenders require a Section 1-clear report before funding. When we perform the treatment that clears those findings, we can issue clearance documentation directly to your escrow officer.
