The First Things Homeowners Ask
What does termite fumigation cost?
It depends on the size, height, and layout of the structure, so we give a written estimate after a quick inspection rather than a phone number that could be wrong. Estimates are free with no obligation.
How long will I be out of my home?
Plan for about three days: preparation and tenting, the fumigation period, then aeration and a clearance check before you go back in. Your technician confirms the exact schedule for your home.
Is it safe for my family and pets?
Yes, when the process is followed. Everyone, including pets and plants, leaves for the duration, and no one returns until the home is aerated and clearance is posted. We walk you through every step.
How furniture fumigation works
Whole-structure fumigation, often called tenting, is the most complete way to clear a drywood termite infestation from an entire home. The structure is sealed under a tent so the treatment can reach the wood throughout the building, not just the spots you can see. Because drywood termites live deep inside the wood and often settle in several areas at once, a treatment that reaches everywhere at the same time is what clears the whole colony in a single job.
Drywood termites are different from subterranean termites. They do not need contact with soil, which is why they turn up in walls, attics, eaves, framing, and furniture, sometimes far from the ground. That is also why localized or surface treatments can miss hidden activity. Tenting treats the structure as one sealed space, so the areas you cannot reach by hand are treated along with the ones you can.
When treatment is finished, the home is fully aerated and checked. You return only after clearance is posted, never before. At that point your 2-year retreatment warranty begins. For the full step-by-step preparation, safety, and re-entry details, see the fumigation process page.
Fumigation leaves no residue on wood or fabric, which is why it is trusted for antiques and heirlooms that cannot risk staining, bleaching, or heat damage.

What termite fumigation costs in Orange County
The main things that move a fumigation price:
| What drives the price | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size of the structure | Fumigation is priced by the volume sealed under the tent, so total square footage is the biggest single factor. |
| Number of stories and height | A two-story or multi-level home needs more tarp, more labor, and more setup than a single story of the same footprint. |
| Roofline and layout | Steep pitches, complex rooflines, and multiple wings take more material and time to seal. |
| Attached areas | An attached garage or connected structure that shares airspace is tented with the home and counts toward the sealed volume. |
| Access and setup | Tight lots, dense landscaping, and obstructions near the walls affect how long the crew needs on site. |
| Documentation you need | A WDO report or Section 1 clearance for a sale, and any repair of findings, are separate line items handled through our escrow and WDO service. |
What does not change the price is how severe the infestation looks. Because the whole structure is sealed and treated in one job, a light case and a widespread case in the same home cost the same to tent. That is also why a written estimate after a short inspection is the honest way to price the work, rather than a single number that would be wrong for most homes.

Is Termite Fumigation the Right Call?
Whole-structure fumigation fits when:
- Drywood termite activity shows up in more than one area of the home
- Infestation is inside walls, attics, or framing you cannot reach directly
- An inspection or termite report finds widespread or hidden activity
- You want the whole structure cleared in a single treatment
- Section 1 findings need to be cleared before a home sale closes
A localized treatment may be enough when:
- Activity is confined to one small, reachable area
- The problem was caught early in an accessible spot
- An inspection confirms it has not spread through the structure
We will tell you plainly when tenting is not necessary, and point you to the honest alternative.
Can a condo or townhome be fumigated for termites?
A condo or townhome can be tented only when the HOA fumigates the entire complex, because termites travel through the shared framing between units and a single unit or single building cannot be sealed and cleared in isolation. We do not tent one owner’s unit on its own. When an HOA or association commits to treating the whole community, we coordinate the tenting, scheduling, and notice for every affected building.
If you own a unit and suspect termites, the next step is your HOA or property manager, since the decision to tent has to be made at the complex level. For associations and property managers, our property management fumigation service covers multi-building scheduling, tenant notice, and reporting.
Can a duplex or triplex be fumigated?
Yes. A duplex or triplex is tented as a whole building in one job, the same way a single-family home is, with no HOA needed. Because the units share framing, the entire structure is sealed together and everyone in the building leaves for the fumigation and aeration, returning only once clearance is posted. This makes tenting a straightforward option for owner-occupied duplexes and small rental properties alike.
Own the duplex or triplex you live in, or a single rental? Call or text 657-608-2488 for a free estimate and we coordinate the timing and any tenant notice with you. If you own several rental properties or manage a portfolio, our property management fumigation service handles multi-property scheduling, tenant notice, and reporting across buildings.

Prepare Your Home
You get a simple preparation checklist covering food, medications, plants, people, and pets, so treatment day goes smoothly.
Tent & Fumigate
The structure is sealed under a tent and treated so the fumigation reaches termites throughout the entire home, not just the surface.

Step-by-step guidance on food, plants, people, and pets so you know exactly how to get ready.
Whole-structure tenting

Signs You May Have Drywood Termites
- Small piles of pellets
Tiny, ridged droppings near baseboards, windowsills, or furniture are a classic drywood termite sign.
- Discarded wings or swarmers
Winged termites or shed wings around windows and light fixtures often mean an established colony inside.
- Hollow or blistered wood
Trim, door frames, and eaves that sound hollow or look blistered can hide galleries eaten from the inside.
- A termite report before a sale
Selling a home often surfaces Section 1 findings that must be cleared before closing. See WDO clearance.

Termite Fumigation FAQ
Straight answers to what Orange County homeowners, sellers, and agents ask most. If your question is specific to your home, call or text (657) 608-2488 and we will walk you through it.
What is the difference between tenting and spot treatment?
Tenting seals the whole structure and treats it as one space, so it reaches drywood termites throughout the home, including areas you cannot see or reach. Spot treatment targets a single accessible area. Because drywood termites often settle in several places at once, tenting is the reliable fix when activity is widespread, while spot treatment can work for a small, contained problem. We tell you honestly which one your home needs.
How long does the whole process take?
Plan for roughly three days for a typical tent fumigation: preparation and tenting, the fumigation period, then aeration and a clearance check before re-entry. The exact timing depends on the size and layout of your home, and your technician confirms the schedule with you before treatment begins.
Is tent fumigation safe for my family, pets, and plants?
Yes, when the process is followed correctly. Everyone, including pets and indoor plants, must leave for the full duration of treatment. You return only after the home is fully aerated and clearance is posted, never before. We give you a clear preparation and re-entry checklist so nothing is left to guesswork. The full safety details are on our fumigation process page.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
Every whole-structure fumigation we perform comes with a flat 2-year retreatment warranty. If covered drywood termites return within the term, we come back and retreat. The warranty applies to fumigation work, not to inspection.
Do you clear termite findings for escrow and home sales?
Yes. We inspect, produce the WDO report, perform whole-structure fumigation where Section 1 findings call for it, and issue the clearance documentation buyers, sellers, and lenders need to close. If you are mid-transaction, start on our escrow and WDO page.
How much does termite fumigation cost in Orange County?
Cost depends on the size of the structure, its layout and height, and access, which vary house to house. Rather than a one-size number over the phone, we give a written estimate after a quick inspection. Estimates are free and there is no obligation.
How do I prepare my home for tenting?
We give you a simple, room-by-room checklist covering food, medications, plants, people, and pets. Certain items are bagged or removed, and the home needs to be accessible for tenting. Most homeowners find the preparation straightforward once they have the list, and we answer any questions before treatment day.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homes and buildings throughout Orange County, including Santa Ana, Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Yorba Linda, Garden Grove, Fountain Valley, Tustin, Orange, and Brea. We are a mobile company and come to you, so we do not operate a walk-in location.
Why don't you list a fumigation price on your website?
Because fumigation is priced by the size and height of the structure, a single web price would be wrong for most homes, high for some and low for others. A quick inspection lets us give you an accurate written number instead of a guess. The estimate is free.
Can you tent just my unit in a condo or townhome?
No. Because termites move through shared walls and framing, a single unit or single building cannot be tented in isolation. We fumigate condo and townhome communities only when the HOA treats the entire complex. Your HOA or property manager is the place to start.
Do you fumigate duplexes and triplexes?
Yes. A duplex or triplex is tented as one whole building, no HOA required. Everyone in the building leaves during treatment and aeration, and no one returns until clearance is posted. If you own several rental properties, ask about our property management scheduling.
