Why Homeowners Choose Ultimate Termite
No Pre-Set Treatment Preference
Affordable Termite Control pushes orange oil and BoraCare as their preferred methods. We don't have a preferred treatment — we inspect first and recommend what your property actually needs. Sometimes that's orange oil. Sometimes it requires fumigation. The inspection drives the recommendation.
2-Year Warranty vs 1-Year
Our standard written warranty covers 2 years on all treatments. Affordable Termite Control offers a 1-year warranty. For a significant structural treatment, that extra year of coverage matters.
Branch 3 WDO Specialist — Escrow Ready
Our Branch 3 license makes us specialists for WDO reports in real estate transactions. $295 flat fee, Section 1 and Section 2 reports, fast turnaround. If you're buying or selling a home in Orange County, we handle the inspection report from start to clearance.
Online Calculator + Digital Reports
Our free fumigation calculator gives you an instant estimate range based on your home's square footage — before you ever call. And all inspection reports are generated digitally through Bug HQ with photos and clear documentation.
