Orange Oil Treatment — Quick Facts
Why Orange Oil in Cypress?
Inland OC city built primarily 1960s–1980s, moderate drywood activity in older ranch homes.
Orange oil is particularly effective in Cypress because Southern California's drywood termites typically infest accessible wood — eaves, fascia, window frames, and interior trim — where direct injection reaches the galleries reliably. No structural disruption, no chemicals left behind.
All orange oil treatment services in Cypress are performed by our CA-licensed inspector (License #PR7791) and come with a written report, warranty documentation, and a free inspection before any treatment is recommended.
In inland cities with hotter summers, drywood termite colonies can spread more aggressively through attic framing. Orange oil works best when infestation is caught early and confined to accessible areas. For widespread inland infestations, fumigation may provide more complete coverage.
Peak termite swarm season in Cypress: April–May. Don't wait for visible damage — early treatment costs a fraction of structural repairs.
Inspector Note — Cypress
“Single-story ranch homes off Katella Avenue frequently have unfinished attic storage areas — these are prime drywood habitat that homeowners often overlook until damage is severe.”

Termite Conditions in Cypress
Cypress was largely built out between 1965 and 1985, and its moderate-risk profile reflects an inland position away from coastal humidity. Drywood termites are the dominant species, with spring swarming activity in April–May targeting attic framing in ranch-style homes. Subterranean activity is low except near properties with irrigation-dense landscaping.

Do I need to leave during orange oil treatment?
No. You can stay in your home throughout the treatment. The material has a citrus scent that fades within a few hours.
How does orange oil compare to fumigation?
Orange oil treats only identified infestation sites. Fumigation treats the entire structure. For localized infestations, orange oil is effective and less disruptive. For widespread infestations, fumigation provides more complete coverage.
Is orange oil effective for subterranean termites?
No — orange oil treats drywood termites only. If you have subterranean termites (indicated by mud tubes), Termidor liquid barrier treatment is required.

We provide a 1-year warranty on all treated galleries. If termite activity returns to any treated area within 12 months, we retreate at no charge.
