What we usually find in Orange County homes
Most infestations are active long before homeowners ever see a bug.
Attic Nesting Zones
Compromised insulation and rodent nesting found in quiet, dark upper levels.
Hidden Termite Galleries
Internal wood destruction that stays invisible behind paint and drywall.
Crawlspace Contamination
Moisture buildup and pest waste in the areas homeowners never enter.
Wall-Void Activity
Acoustic and visual evidence of pests moving through structural cavities.
Exterior Entry Points
Unsealed vents and hairline cracks acting as highways for infestations.
Structural Damage
Weakened beams and foundations caused by long-term, untreated activity.
These are the problems we inspect for before visible damage appears.
HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS
Clear inspections and solutions — no guessing, no pressure.
From the moment you call, you’ll know what’s happening, why it’s needed, and what it costs before any work begins.
1
Inspection
We inspect attics, crawl spaces, walls, garages, and exterior entry points to identify the actual source of the problem.
2
Clear explanation
You get a plain-language explanation of what we found, what needs to be fixed, and which options make sense for your home.
3
Targeted treatment
We recommend only the treatment or repair needed — whether that’s localized treatment, fumigation, or structural exclusion.
4
Follow-up if required
If sealing, repairs, or additional prevention is needed, we explain it clearly and schedule follow-up work only when it makes sense.

WHAT WE DON’T DO
No pressure. No contracts. No guessing.
If a one-time service solves the problem, that’s what we recommend. If structural exclusion or follow-up is needed, we explain why and you decide how to proceed.
- We don’t sell treatments before inspecting the actual issue.
- We don’t lock homeowners into contracts they don’t need.
- We don’t rotate random technicians through your home.
- We don’t upsell monthly plans if one visit solves the problem.
- We don’t hide pricing or bury details in fine print.

We identify entry points, nesting areas, and conditions causing pests.
You get the plan, timeline, and cost drivers before work begins.
We do the work in-house, so you’re not chasing subcontractors.
Field Proof: Restoration & Results
We don’t just spray. We restore structural integrity and seal the source.
Sealing Work
We identify hairline fractures and structural gaps that serve as “pest highways,” sealing them with industrial-grade, chew-proof sealants.
Exclusion Work
Custom-fitted hardware cloth and metal screens installed over vents and crawlspace openings to block rodents and wildlife for good.
Attic & Crawlspace Cleanup
Complete extraction of pheromone-heavy waste and soiled insulation, followed by full antimicrobial fogging and sanitation.
Termite & Structural Damage
We expose the galleries and mud tubes others miss. We ensure the infestation is terminated before any repairs begin.
Restoration & Repair
Our licensed team performs structural wood replacement, ensuring your home is as strong—or stronger—than before the infestation.

What local homeowners say after they call 714-236-1200.
These are the types of comments we hear from customers who found us through friends, family, or real estate agents. Our goal is simple: earn the kind of review you would be comfortable showing your neighbors.
“We called SoCal Pest at 714-236-1200 after another company tried to scare us into an expensive fumigation. Their inspector explained what was actually going on and gave us options. We ended up doing localized work that made sense for our budget and timeline.”
“Our escrow was on a tight deadline and we needed a fast termite report. SoCal Pest scheduled us quickly, showed up when they promised, and delivered a report that our agent and lender were able to understand. Calling 714-236-1200 probably saved the deal.”
“Rats in the attic were stressing us out. The tech walked the entire property, showed us entry points, and laid out a step-by-step plan. After the work we could finally sleep without hearing noise above us. Easy to reach at 714-236-1200 whenever we had questions.”
Homeowners across Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and Huntington Beach call SoCal Pest because they want honest answers, clear pricing, and problems fixed correctly the first time.
Orange County Regional Defense
Pests behave differently here.
Our system is built for that.
Generic treatments fail because they ignore the OC environment. We counter the four variables that drive local infestations:
Coastal Moisture
High humidity levels accelerate wood decay and sustain termite colonies year-round.
Slab & Raised Foundations
Architecture dictates entry. We inspect sub-structures and expansion joints specifically.
Artificial Irrigation
Constant watering creates a perpetual breeding ground, even during dry SoCal summers.
Dense Housing Pressure
Proximity means pests move rapidly between properties. Your defense must be proactive.

Deployment Note: You will speak directly with an OC field professional, not a remote dispatcher.
Inspection & Investment Reality
What to expect regarding costs, timelines, and technical requirements.
Cost Determinants
- • Total square footage
- • Complexity of exclusion work
- • Foundation type (Slab vs. Raised)
- • Maturity of the infestation
The Fumigation Rule
Whole-home fumigation is reserved for deep-seated termite colonies in inaccessible framing. In many OC homes, localized spot treatments or heat-based solutions are sufficient to stabilize the structure without tenting.
Inspection Outcomes
Most inspections identify 2–3 active entry highways and minor structural compromises in attics or crawlspaces. We provide a full technical report of these findings so you can prioritize repairs.
Expectation Timeline
Initial Inspection: 45–90 mins
Stabilization: 24–72 hours
Full Eradication: Varies by species, but baseline activity usually drops 90% within 10 days of the first treatment.
Technical Note: “Blind” over-the-phone quotes are often inaccurate. Because Orange County homes utilize unique expansion joints and coastal-specific framing, we only provide binding quotes after a physical inspection of the property’s perimeter and sub-structure.
