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.
Established North OC suburban community; proximity to LA County border

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does real estate termite inspection cost in Cypress?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Cypress typically costs $295 flat fee. The exact price depends on the size of your home, the extent of infestation, and accessibility. We provide free on-site inspections with a no-obligation written estimate before any work begins.
How long does real estate termite inspection take in Cypress?
Real Estate Termite Inspection in Cypress takes approximately 45–90 minutes. You do not need to leave your home during treatment. We schedule promptly and work around your availability.
Is real estate termite inspection the right choice for my Cypress home?
Real Estate Termite Inspection is best suited for both drywood and subterranean termite problems. Cypress homes face year-round termite pressure from both species. After your free inspection, our licensed inspector will confirm whether this is the right treatment for your specific situation.

What is a Section 1 vs Section 2 finding?
Section 1 findings are active infestations and directly caused damage that typically must be remediated before close of escrow. Section 2 findings are conditions conducive to future infestation (earth-wood contact, moisture, etc.) that are disclosed but often negotiated between buyer and seller.
How quickly can I get a WDO report?
We typically complete the inspection within 24 hours of scheduling and deliver the written report to escrow within 24–48 hours of the inspection.
Is a WDO report required to sell a home in California?
Not legally required by the state, but required by most lenders (including VA and FHA), and strongly recommended for seller disclosure. Many purchase contracts specify a WDO report as a contingency.
Does the $295 go toward treatment?
The real estate WDO inspection fee is separate from our free residential inspection. If treatment is booked following the WDO report, we provide a competitive treatment quote — the $295 inspection fee is not credited toward treatment.
