A clearer way to start
Florida homes can face drywood and subterranean termite activity, and the signs may look similar at first. A reliable plan begins with identifying the likely species, inspecting accessible areas and matching the response to the evidence.

Different species and building conditions call for different approaches. Explore the main options before discussing a plan with a licensed professional.
Drywood termites live inside the wood they consume, so an infestation can be easy to miss until pellets, damaged timber or swarmers appear. The right treatment starts with identifying the termite and mapping the affected areas.

Pellets beneath wood, mud tubes on a foundation, discarded wings and damaged timber can all deserve a closer look. None of these signs alone tells the full story. An inspection helps determine whether termites are present and which approach may fit.
Made for the Florida climate
Florida's warm, humid conditions support several termite groups. Leaks, poor drainage and wood in contact with soil can also create conditions worth correcting. Prevention is not a guarantee, but regular maintenance can reduce risk and make early signs easier to spot.
