Termite Control Services for Homes and Businesses

Why Professional Control Matters

​

Termites Cause Major Structural Damage

​

Termites are often referred to as "silent destroyers" because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper undetected. By the time visible signs appear, significant structural damage may have already occurred, leading to costly repairs that are rarely covered by standard homeowners' insurance. Proactive termite monitoring and immediate action are the only ways to safeguard an investment against these wood-destroying organisms.

​

Florida’s High Termite Activity

​

The warm, humid climate of Northwest FL creates the ideal breeding ground for termite colonies. Unlike cooler regions where activity slows down, the Florida Panhandle sees year-round pressure from aggressive species like the Formosan termite. Local properties face a higher risk level, making routine termite detection services not just a luxury but a necessity for property preservation.
 

Why DIY Methods Fail

​

Store-bought sprays and surface treatments rarely reach the heart of the colony. Termites live deep within the soil or inside structural timber, areas that over-the-counter products cannot penetrate effectively. A licensed termite control company utilizes industrial-grade solutions and specialized equipment to target the source of the infestation, ensuring complete colony elimination rather than temporary relief.

​

Treatments & Protection

​

Termite Inspection

​

Effective control begins with an accurate diagnosis. A Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection thoroughly assesses the property for signs of activity, including mud tubes, discarded wings, and hollow-sounding wood. This assessment covers the interior, exterior, foundation, and crawlspaces to identify vulnerabilities and existing infestations.

​

Termite Treatment Options

​

Every property requires a unique approach based on construction type and infestation severity.
 

• Liquid Barrier Termite Treatment: A continuous chemical zone is established around the perimeter of the foundation. This method creates an immediate defense line that eliminates termites as they attempt to enter or exit the structure.

• Termite Baiting Systems: Advanced bait stations, such as Trelona, are strategically placed around the property. Foraging termites consume the bait and share it with the colony, leading to total colony elimination.

• Direct Wood Treatment: For active infestations within the structure, targeted applications treat the wood directly to halt damage immediately.

Types of Termites We Treat

​

Subterranean Termites

​

The most common and destructive species in the region, subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood sources. They require moisture to survive and are responsible for the majority of termite damage in the U.S. Treatment typically involves soil barriers and baiting systems.

​

Formosan Termites

​

A highly aggressive subspecies of subterranean termite, Formosans form massive colonies that consume wood at a rapid pace. Often called "super termites," they can compromise a structure much faster than other species. Specialized, intensive treatment plans are often required to control these resilient pests.

​

Drywood Termites

​

Unlike their soil-dwelling cousins, drywood termites live entirely inside the wood they consume and do not need contact with the ground. Infestations are often found in attic framing, furniture, and hardwood floors. Spot treatments and direct wood applications are common methods for managing localized drywood activity.

​

Our Termite Protection Process

Step 1: Detailed Termite Inspection

​

A licensed termite specialist conducts a rigorous examination of the property. This step identifies the species of termite, locates entry points, and assesses the level of structural damage to inform the treatment strategy.

​

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

​

Data from the inspection is used to build a tailored plan. Whether the situation calls for liquid defense, baiting systems, or a hybrid approach, the selected method focuses on maximum efficacy for the specific building materials and termite species involved.

​

Step 3: Professional Application

​

Technicians execute the treatment plan using industry-leading materials. Applications are performed with precision to ensure safety for the household while delivering lethal results to the termite colony.

​

Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring

​

Termite control is an ongoing process. Follow-up visits and annual inspections ensure the protective barriers remain intact and that bait stations are active, providing continuous security against re-infestation.

​

Long-Term Termite Prevention

​

Annual Protection Plans

​

Peace of mind comes from knowing a property is covered. A Termite Bond offers a service guarantee that includes unlimited free inspections throughout the coverage period. Should termites reappear, the plan ensures prompt and efficient treatment to resolve the issue, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to long-term structural safety.

​

Moisture and Entry Point Control

​

Reducing moisture around the foundation is critical for deterrence. Leaky faucets, improper drainage, and wood-to-ground contact should be addressed to make the property less attractive to colonies.

​

Continued Monitoring and Re-Treatment Options

​

Environmental factors can degrade treatments over time. Scheduled monitoring ensures that chemical barriers are replenished when necessary and bait stations remain stocked, maintaining an unbroken shield around the home.

​

What treatment is best for my home?

The best treatment depends on the construction of the home (slab vs. crawlspace) and the type of termite. An inspection will determine if liquid barriers or bait stations are the superior choice.
