Why Homeowners Choose Ultimate Termite
All Treatment Methods — No Bias
Pacific Coast Termite discourages fumigation and pushes no-tent methods as a policy. We don't have a preferred treatment — we recommend what your specific infestation requires. Sometimes that's orange oil. Sometimes it's fumigation. We let the inspection determine the answer.
WDO / Escrow Inspection Specialist
Our Branch 3 WDO license means we specialize in the real estate inspection reports required for home sales throughout California. $295 flat fee, fast turnaround, lender-accepted reports — a service Pacific Coast doesn't highlight.
4-County Service Area
We serve Orange County, LA County, the Inland Empire, and Riverside County. If you own property in multiple areas or are relocating, you won't need to find a new company. Pacific Coast primarily serves Orange County and Riverside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a termite company's California license?
Visit the California Structural Pest Control Board website and search by company name or license number. Every licensed operator has a public record showing license status, branch classification, and any disciplinary history. Our license number is #PR7791 — you can verify it directly. If a company can't provide a license number on the spot, that's a red flag.
Should I get more than one termite bid?
Yes — getting at least two or three written estimates is one of the best things a homeowner can do. Pricing varies significantly because it depends on the species found, the scope of infestation, and the treatment method. Fumigation is priced by cubic footage. Termidor soil barriers are priced by linear feet of foundation. Orange oil is priced by number of injection points.
We don't quote prices over the phone because an accurate estimate requires an on-site inspection. Any company that gives a firm number without seeing your property is guessing.
Does a bigger company mean a better termite job?
Not necessarily. Larger companies have brand recognition and broad coverage, but treatment quality depends on the individual inspector's experience, the range of treatments available, and whether the company recommends what your property actually needs.
Owner-operated companies typically have lower overhead, which means pricing isn't inflated by franchise fees or regional advertising. At Ultimate Termite, the owner is on every job — not a rotating crew of seasonal technicians.
What should a written termite estimate include?
A complete estimate should list the species identified, the treatment method recommended, the specific areas to be treated, the total price with no hidden fees, the warranty terms and duration, and the company's California SPCB license number.
If an estimate is vague about any of these — especially the species or the warranty — ask for clarification before signing. Every Ultimate Termite estimate includes all of these items in writing before work begins.
