Termites cause more property damage in the US than fires and floods combined - and California has multiple active termite species. Annual termite inspection costs $0-$200, treatment runs $1,200-$3,500 for a typical home depending on infestation type (subterranean vs. drywood) and treatment method (liquid barrier, baiting, fumigation). Get free quotes from licensed California pest control operators (PCOs).
California's wide regional climate variation and Title 24 efficiency code make termite control & treatment a meaningful decision for any homeowner. Local factors like Title 24 efficiency standards and wildfire risk affect both pricing and product selection. Comparing 2-3 quotes from licensed local contractors is the single best way to land on fair pricing and a contractor you trust.

California hosts subterranean termites in most regions. Coastal and southern CA also have Formosan or drywood termites - which require fumigation-class treatments rather than soil barriers. Your inspector should identify the species before recommending treatment.
Liquid soil treatments (Termidor, Premise) protect the perimeter and kill colony members on contact - effective for subterranean termites. Bait stations (Sentricon) eliminate the colony over months. Most CA homeowners get good results from either; the right choice depends on your home's foundation type and the inspector's recommendation.
Yes - an annual California termite service contract typically costs $250-$450 per year and includes re-treatment if termites reappear. Most CA home buyers and refinance lenders look favorably on active termite bonds. Lapse on the bond is when re-infestations get expensive.
