Why Old Towne Orange Homes Are at Higher Risk
Orange has one of the largest collections of pre-1930s homes in Orange County, and that history comes with a real termite challenge. Original wood framing, older foundations, and decades-old plumbing all create the exact conditions drywood and subterranean termites look for.
Many of these homes have never had a professional inspection, which means activity can go unnoticed for years while damage quietly builds behind walls and under floors.
Signs of Termite Damage to Watch For
Older Orange homes hide termite activity well. Here’s what to check for.
Thin, pencil-width tunnels along foundations, crawl space piers, or exterior walls built by subterranean termites.
Small piles near windows, doors, or porches after a swarm, especially common in older wood-sided homes.
Original trim, porch posts, or window frames that sound hollow or papery when tapped.
Tiny, sand-like pellets near baseboards or attic spaces, a classic sign of active drywood termites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are older Orange homes more vulnerable to termites?
Many Orange homes, especially in Old Towne, were built before 1930 with original wood framing and foundations. That construction style, combined with decades of aging plumbing, creates ideal conditions for both drywood and subterranean termites.
Is a termite inspection really free?
Yes. Every Orange property owner, residential or commercial, qualifies for a free termite inspection with no obligation to book treatment afterward.
How long does treatment take?
Spot treatments can often be completed in a few hours. Full-structure fumigation typically takes one to three days, including tenting and aeration.
Can you treat historic or older homes without damaging original features?
Yes. We regularly work with older Orange properties and take care to protect original trim, siding, and architectural details during treatment.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
For localized spot treatments, usually not. For whole-structure fumigation, occupants and pets need to vacate for the duration, and we’ll walk you through what to prepare.
What parts of Orange do you serve?
We serve all of Orange, including Old Towne, Orange Park Acres, and the areas surrounding Chapman University, along with the wider Orange County area.
