Termite Prevention

For such a small pest, they can cause catastrophic structural damage to homes. They feed on the wood used in home construction and destroy buildings without detection.

There are three main termite groups:

• Subterranean
• Drywood
• Dampwood

Within these three groups, Florida homeowners should be concerned with four specific species:

• Eastern Subterranean
• Formosan Subterranean
• Powderpost Drywood
• Florida Dampwood

The species of a termite infestation will inform the treatment options and allow our professionals to develop a specialized plan to protect your home. Treatment options for termites include both chemical and non-chemical procedures.

Damage of an infestation often goes unnoticed. While a trained professional can quickly identify termite damage during an inspection, homeowners can also check their homes for signs of termites. These signs of termites include:

• Discarded wings
• Mud tubes
• Hollow sounding wood
• Paint buckling
