Termite Control in Florida
Florida homeowners can encounter both subterranean and drywood termites. Because treatment methods differ, identification and a licensed inspection are more useful than choosing a product from symptoms alone.
Calls may be recorded for quality and matching purposes.
Common signs of termites
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Mud tubes on foundations or walls
- Hollow-sounding or damaged wood
- Bubbling paint or unexplained wood blistering
- Small piles of drywood termite pellets
Online signs are not a confirmed diagnosis. Save clear photos or a specimen when safe and practical, and avoid disturbing evidence before an inspection.

Florida termite control questions
Do all termite problems require tenting?
No. Tenting is commonly associated with some drywood termite infestations, but subterranean termites and localized conditions may be handled with other methods. A licensed inspection should determine the likely species and extent.
How quickly should I act after seeing swarmers?
Promptly. Swarmers do not prove the exact location or size of an infestation, but they justify a professional inspection, especially when found indoors.
Is termite damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Termite damage is often treated as a maintenance issue and may not be covered. Review your policy and ask your insurer about your specific situation.
