Fullerton
Fumigation Company
Whole-structure tent fumigation for Fullerton homes, including the pre-war craftsman and bungalow stock around downtown and the college.
Orange County Fumigation provides whole-structure termite fumigation for homeowners, sellers, and agents in Fullerton. Fullerton has some of the oldest housing stock in North Orange County, and original-growth wood framing from the 1910s through the 1940s is exactly what drywood termites settle into. Our tent fumigation clears them throughout the entire home in one treatment and carries a two-year retreatment warranty. If a finding is small and reachable, we will tell you whether a tent is warranted.

Old wood, high finding rates
Fullerton incorporated in 1904 and grew up around citrus and the college, which left it with a deep stock of genuinely old homes: Craftsman bungalows, period-revival houses, and original wood-frame construction from the 1910s through the 1940s clustered around downtown, Golden Hill, and the older avenues. That age is the single biggest reason Fullerton produces high Section 1 finding rates at inspection. Drywood termites favor original trim, eaves, and framing that has been in place for eighty or ninety years, and by the time a house changes hands, a colony has often had decades to work.
For a Fullerton seller that usually means a tent, not a spot treatment. The full process is on how tent fumigation works.
1
Historic homes need care, not a different chemistry
Some Fullerton parcels sit in or near designated historic areas, and owners of period homes worry that tenting will harm original material. It does not. Fumigation is a gas that clears the drywood colony without touching finishes, plaster, or trim, and it reaches framing that spot treatment cannot. What older homes do need is careful tarp handling around delicate rooflines and mature landscaping, which we plan for.

Buying or selling an older Fullerton home
Because the finding rate is high here, a termite report is a routine part of a Fullerton sale, not an exception. Our Fullerton termite fumigation work confirms the finding, tents the structure when the whole home needs it, and produces the clearance your escrow and lender require. The path is on the WDO / Section 1 page.

What termite inspections turn up in Fullerton homes
Because so much of the stock is older, the findings skew to established, structure-wide activity in original wood:
- Original eaves, rafter tails, and exposed trim
On Craftsman and bungalow stock, classic drywood entry points.
- Attic framing and roof sheathing
The highest-rate Section 1 location in older homes.
- Window and door framing
In period homes with original millwork.
- Porch posts, beams, and detached garages
Common on pre-war lots.
When a finding is limited to one reachable area, we tell you whether spot treatment clears it. We do not sell a tent a home does not need.

Fullerton termite fumigation FAQs
Answers to what Fullerton homeowners and sellers ask most. If your question is specific to your home, call or text 657-608-2488.
Do you serve all of Fullerton?
Yes. We fumigate homes across the historic core, Golden Hill, Raymond Hills, Sunny Hills, and the newer tracts.
Why do older Fullerton homes have such high termite finding rates?
Fullerton has some of the oldest housing in North Orange County, with original wood framing from the 1910s to the 1940s. Drywood termites favor that aged trim, eaves, and framing, so inspections here turn up findings more often than in newer stock.
Will tenting damage my historic or period home?
No. Fumigation is a gas that clears the colony without harming finishes, plaster, or original trim, and it reaches framing that spot treatment cannot. We handle the tarp carefully around delicate rooflines and mature landscaping.
Can you clear a termite report for a Fullerton home sale?
Yes. Termite reports are routine on older Fullerton homes. We provide the inspection, the report, the fumigation when a Section 1 finding calls for it, and the clearance your escrow and lender require.
How long will I need to be out of my home?
A tent fumigation is a multi-day job with a mandatory move-out, and re-entry is always gated on posted clearance after the home passes aeration. We give you the exact window in the estimate.
