"I started this business in 1994 because Orange County homeowners deserved a pest control company that tells them the truth — what they actually need, not what pads a bill. That hasn't changed in 30 years."

— Rob Doughty, Owner

Welcome

Old Towne Termite and Pest Control

Rob Doughty founded Old Towne Termite and Pest Control in 1994, and has personally run the company across Orange County ever since. What started as one man answering his own phone has stayed that way in spirit — Rob still oversees every job, and customers regularly mention getting him on the phone directly, even on weekends. Orange County's mix of older housing stock in cities like Orange and Santa Ana alongside newer developments in Irvine and Lake Forest means Old Towne has seen nearly every pest and termite pattern the region produces — from drywood termite colonies common in older wood-frame homes to the seasonal ant and spider activity that newer landscaped communities attract. That range of experience shapes every inspection. Old Towne will also beat any written competitor quote, and never recommends services beyond what a property actually needs.

Services

 Pest Control

Treatment for ants, spiders, cockroaches, earwigs, crickets, silverfish, and other common household pests, available as a one-time visit or a recurring quarterly maintenance plan. Orange County's warm, dry climate keeps ant and spider activity active nearly year-

Organic Pest Control

Plant-based treatments using ingredients like rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and geraniol for households wanting a pet- and child-safe alternative to traditional chemical treatments, without giving up effectiveness against ants, spiders, roaches, and mosquitoes.

Termite Control

Termite inspection, drywood and subterranean termite treatment, no-tent local treatment options, full fumigation/tenting, and in-house wood repair for termite damage. Orange County's older neighborhoods see frequent drywood termite activity, and Old Towne offers both localized spot treatment and full-property fumigation depending on the extent of an infestation — plus real estate and escrow termite reports for home sales.

Mosquito
Control

Yard treatment, mosquito misting systems, and one-time treatments for outdoor events. Standing water from irrigation and backyard landscaping is the most common mosquito breeding source found across Orange County properties.

Rodent Control

Trapping and removal, entry-point sealing and exclusion, and cleanup of rodent-damaged attic insulation and droppings. Rodents are a common cold-weather problem in Orange County as temperatures drop from October through February and rodents look for a way indoors.

Bed Bug Treatment

Full bed bug elimination for homes and rental properties, addressing both the immediate infestation and future prevention.

Our Process

Free Inspection

Rob or a technician inspects your property, identifies the pest or termite issue, and documents the extent of the problem.

Clear Explanation

You get a plain-language explanation of what was found, what's actually needed to fix it, and a firm price — no upselling beyond the real problem.

Treatment

Service is scheduled, often same-day or next-day, using the treatment method (localized, fumigation, organic, etc.) that matches the specific infestation.

Follow-Up and Prevention

Covered work includes a 3-year warranty, and Old Towne offers optional preventative recommendations if you want to avoid a repeat problem — never pushed, only if you ask.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does termite treatment cost in Orange County?

Termite treatment cost depends on the treatment method and the size of the infestation. Localized spot treatments typically run several hundred dollars, while full-property fumigation for a moderate-sized home is usually in the low thousands. Old Towne provides a free inspection and a firm price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

How does a termite inspection work?

A technician examines the accessible areas of your property — foundation, eaves, attic, crawlspace, and wood structures — looking for live termite activity, damage, and conditions that attract termites, like moisture or wood-to-soil contact. You'll get a written summary of findings, and if termites are found, a specific treatment recommendation matched to the type and location of the infestation.

What's the difference between drywood and subterranean termites?

Drywood termites live entirely inside dry wood and don't need contact with soil, which is why they're common in Southern California's dry climate and often require fumigation or localized wood treatment. Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood above ground, which typically requires a soil treatment around the structure's foundation. Identifying which type is present determines the correct treatment method.

Is organic pest control actually effective?

Yes. Plant-based active ingredients like rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and geraniol are effective against ants, spiders, roaches, mosquitoes, fleas, and wasps when applied correctly and consistently. They work differently than synthetic chemicals — often through repellency and disruption of pest nervous systems — which means treatment frequency may be slightly different than a conventional chemical plan, but effectiveness is comparable for most common household pests.

Do I need to leave my home during pest or termite treatment?

Covered termite and pest work includes a 3-year warranty against the treated issue returning. If the same problem recurs within that window, Old Towne returns to address it at no additional charge.

How fast can someone come out for an emergency pest problem?

Old Towne offers 24/7 emergency service and same-day appointments in most cases. Rob and the team have a track record of responding to urgent situations — like an active rodent problem or a bee swarm near a home — within hours of a call, including weekends.
