How Orange Oil Kills Termites
If you’re reading this, chances are you suspect that you have drywood termites in your home.
At Unipest we offer Santa Clarita residents the most eco, family and pet friendly options for this, like Orange Oil. Orange oil is the most natural extermination technique available.
But how does Orange Oil work? My answer to this is something called the capillary effect.

Scientifically speaking, the capillary effect is defined as the ability of a liquid to flow through a substance in apparent opposition to natural effects such as gravity, but it’s a pretty simple idea. We call it the “sucking effect” of a medium. You probably even see this kind of effect on a daily basis, like when you clean something up with a paper towel.
Wood is an amazing capillary medium, because it is basically a giant wooden sponge. If you have too much moisture in your wood, it may fall victim to termites.
We at Unipest in Santa Clarita will have technicians inject the wood with orange oil, and through the capillary effect, the orange oil will travel completely though the wood and kill all termites. The orange oil completely evaporates after 4-5 hours.
