Orange Neighborhoods We Cover

Old Towne. The square mile around the Plaza holds many of the city’s original buildings from the years after Orange incorporated in 1888, and it is the largest National Register historic district in California. Older wood-frame houses here have decades-old eaves, trim and attic framing, which is where drywood termites live, and a lot of them sit over a crawlspace, which is where subterranean termite mud tubes and rodent activity show up first. On Old Towne inspections we look in the attic and under the floor.

Around Chapman University. A lot of the housing near campus is rented and turns over every year. Roaches and bed bugs travel in with furniture and boxes, and owners and property managers get the findings in writing after each inspection.

Along Santiago Creek. Homes that back onto the creek corridor and its open space get rodent and mosquito pressure from that side that blocks further in do not. Perimeter work matters most there.

El Modena, Orange Park Acres and Olive. Larger lots, mature trees and more open ground mean more outdoor pressure: roof rats in the trees, ants in the irrigation, black widows in sheds and block walls.

The Plaza and the commercial corridors. Restaurants and shops around the Plaza share walls, alleys and trash enclosures, so a roach or rodent problem is usually a building problem rather than one unit.

Rats and Mice in Orange

As the nights cool down in October and November, rats and mice move out of yards, trees and storm drains and into attics, walls and garages, which is why fall is when a lot of Orange homeowners first hear them. In Old Towne, a broken crawlspace vent screen or a gap where a utility line enters lets rats under the house, and from the subfloor they can reach every wall cavity. In the tracts and on larger lots, roof rats cross on limbs that touch the roof.

Trapping clears what is inside. Exclusion, meaning sealing the entry points, screening the vents and closing the roofline gaps, is the part that stops the next one. Once we have sealed your home, if rodents get back in within 12 months we come back and fix it at no charge. More on our rodent control page.

Termites in Orange

Old Towne’s older houses have decades-old wood for drywood termites to live in, and raised foundations give subterranean termites a direct route from soil to wood. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself, in eaves, fascia, window frames and attic framing, and the first sign is usually a small pile of tiny, hard pellets under a sill or winged swarmers at a window in late summer and fall. Subterranean termites come up from the soil and leave mud tubes on foundations and crawlspace piers.

The inspection is free. We tell you which termite it is, how far it has gone and what treatment fits, and you get the findings and the quote in writing before any work starts. See how our termite control works, or read what a fall termite swarm means.

Orange Pest Control Questions We Get

Our Old Towne house has a crawlspace. What should we be checking?

The piers and the subfloor. Subterranean termites build mud tubes up from the soil to the wood, and that is the first visible evidence you get. Broken vent screens matter too, because that is how rats get under the house.

We rent to students near Chapman. Can you work around tenants?

Yes. Exterior service does not need anyone home, and we schedule interior visits around move-in and move-out when you tell us the dates.

How fast can you come out?

Same-day service is available on weekdays for most calls, and the inspection is free. Call (562) 488-7455.
