The first and most critical step in effective termite control is a thorough and accurate inspection. Our certified technicians are trained to identify the subtle signs of termite activity, even in areas you might not think to look. We conduct a comprehensive assessment, examining both the interior and exterior of your property, including:
Our inspection goes beyond simply looking for visible termites. We look for tell-tale signs like mud tubes, discarded wings, frass (termite droppings), and damaged wood. This detailed assessment allows us to accurately identify the scope of the infestation, the species of termite involved (common drywood termites or subterranean termites in Florida), and the best course of action for effective treatment. Understanding the extent and nature of the infestation is paramount to developing a targeted and successful extermination plan.
Based on the findings of our inspection, we develop a customized treatment plan designed to eliminate the termites effectively and minimize disruption to your property. We employ a variety of advanced treatment methods, selecting the most appropriate technique or combination of techniques based on the specific situation. Our goal is to eradicate the existing colony or colonies and create a protective barrier to prevent future infestations.
Subterranean termites are the most common and potentially destructive type of termite in Florida. They live in underground colonies and build mud tubes to access food sources in your home. Our treatment for subterranean termites typically involves:
Drywood termites live within the wood they infest and do not require contact with the soil. They are often found in attics, furniture, and structural timbers. Treatment options for drywood termites include:
We will discuss the recommended treatment options with you in detail, explaining the process, timeline, and expected outcomes.

Termites can be masters of disguise, doing significant damage to your property before you even realize they’re there. Being able to recognize the early warning signs of a termite infestation is crucial for preventing extensive and costly damage. If you suspect you might have a termite problem, don’t delay – immediate action can make a significant difference.
Many subtle signs can indicate the presence of termites. It’s important to be vigilant, especially if your home has areas of wood that come into contact with the soil or if you’ve seen swarmers in the area. Keep an eye out for these common indicators:
Subterranean termites build mud tubes, also known as shelter tubes, made of soil, wood, and salivary secretions. These tubes are typically the width of a pencil and serve as protective highways allowing termites to travel between their underground colony and their food source (the wood in your home). Finding mud tubes, particularly on your foundation walls or in crawl spaces, is a strong indication of subterranean termite activity. These tubes are designed to protect the termites from predators and the dehydrating effects of open air as they move from the soil into your structure. Breaking open a mud tube and observing if termites are present can help confirm an active infestation. Even old, inactive tubes can suggest a past infestation that might still have hidden colonies.
During certain times of the year, often in warm, humid weather, mature termite colonies produce winged reproductive termites called swarmers. These swarmers fly out of the colony in large numbers to find a mate and establish a new colony. After swarming, they shed their wings, which are often found in piles near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures. Finding piles of small, translucent wings in these areas is a clear sign that a termite colony is present nearby and has recently swarmed. Swarming is a natural part of the termite life cycle and often happens after heavy rains, as increased moisture levels stimulate their emergence. Don’t confuse termite wings with ant wings; termite wings are typically uniform in size and shape, while ant wings are not. A pile of these discarded wings is a significant alarm bell.
Termites eat wood from the inside out, which can make it difficult to detect damage visually. However, over time, you may start to notice signs of damaged wood. This can include:
If you tap on wood trim, walls, or flooring and it sounds hollow, it could be a sign that termites have been eating the wood from the inside. As termites consume the inner cellulose structure, the wood becomes weakened and less dense, producing a hollow sound when struck. Sagging floors or ceilings can also indicate significant structural damage caused by extensive termite infestations. This physical manifestation of damage means the termites have been active for a considerable period, and the structural integrity of the affected areas is compromised. The larger the infestation, the more pronounced these signs become. Pay particular attention to areas around moisture sources like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, as these are often attractive to termites seeking hydration.
Termite activity, particularly from subterranean termites, can introduce moisture into the wood, causing it to blister or appear darkened. This moisture can also lead to the growth of mold or mildew, further exacerbating the damage and creating an even more attractive environment for termites. The combination of termite activity and moisture can lead to rapid deterioration of wooden structures. This discoloration and bubbling of the paint or surface veneer are often one of the more visible initial signs that homeowners notice. Inspecting areas where wood is in contact with water sources or areas with poor ventilation is a good practice. Ignoring these visual cues can allow the infestation to grow without detection.
Drywood termites, specifically, produce distinct, pellet-like droppings called frass. These droppings are often found in small piles near infested wood, such as near kick-out holes (small holes created by termites to push frass out of their galleries). Frass resembles sawdust but is more uniform in size and shape, often the color of the wood they are consuming. Finding these tiny pellets on surfaces below wooden beams, furniture, or in attics is a strong indicator of a drywood termite infestation. The accumulation of frass over time can become quite noticeable and provides a clear sign of active feeding within the wood. Regularly sweeping areas below exposed wooden structures can help you quickly identify fresh frass deposits.
While less common, in severe infestations, some people report hearing faint clicking sounds within their walls. This sound is believed to be made by termites as they communicate with each other within the colony. While this is not the most reliable indicator of termites, if coupled with other signs, it can contribute to the suspicion of an infestation. The sounds are typically very subtle and may only be audible in quiet environments. If you hear any unusual sounds emanating from your walls, especially at night when the house is quiet, it’s worth investigating further, particularly if you’ve noticed any other potential termite indicators. This clicking is sometimes described as a rustling or faint tapping sound.
If you observe any of these signs, it is crucial to contact a professional termite control service immediately. Attempting to treat termites yourself using store-bought products is often ineffective and can even make the problem worse by disturbing the colony and causing them to spread to other areas of your home. Professional assessment and treatment are essential for complete eradication and long-term prevention.
