Subterranean Termite Treatment in Orange County
Protect your home from the most destructive termites in the U.S. with proven soil-based treatments.
Subterranean termites are the most common and destructive termite species in North America. These ground-dwelling pests can enter your home through cracks in the foundation, plumbing openings, or any wood that touches soil. Left untreated, they can silently cause thousands of dollars in structural damage—often before you even know they’re there.
At Orion Exterminating, we offer professional subterranean termite treatment using Termidor® SC, the industry’s leading termiticide. Our licensed technicians protect homes and businesses throughout Orange County, California with long-lasting soil treatments backed by a 5-year guarantee.
What Are Subterranean Termites?
Unlike Drywood termites, Subterranean termites live underground and rely on moist soil to survive. They travel through mud tubes built along foundations, walls, or pipes to reach wood above ground.
Key traits of Subterranean termites:
- Nest underground in large colonies
- Cause significant damage from the ground up
- Build visible mud tubes along foundations and walls
- Thrive in damp, shaded environments
- Often go undetected until serious damage occurs
Because they work silently and out of sight, early detection and prevention are critical to protecting your property.
Our Subterranean Termite Process
Orion Exterminating uses Termidor® SC to create a protective barrier around your home’s foundation. Here’s how it works:
1. Inspection & Assessment
Our licensed termite inspector examines your foundation, soil, and structure for evidence of Subterranean activity and entry points.
2. Perimeter Treatment
We trench or drill around the perimeter of your structure and apply Termidor® SC into the soil, forming a continuous treatment zone termites can’t avoid.
3. The Transfer Effect™
Termidor doesn’t repel termites—it allows them to pass through treated zones, where they unknowingly pick up the product and transfer it to others in the colony. This slow-acting process wipes out the entire population, including the queen.
