California's drywood termite is unique — unlike Eastern states where subterranean termites dominate, CA homes face drywood termites that don't need soil contact. Infestations are often treated by whole-structure fumigation (tenting with Vikane). Argentine ants form invasive super-colonies with multiple queens, making them extremely difficult to eliminate with over-the-counter products.
