Termites may be small, but they’re one of the biggest threats to your home. In fact, they cause over $5 billion in property damage each year in the U.S. alone — and most of it isn’t covered by homeowners insurance. Here in Florida, especially in our warm and humid climate, termites are active year-round and can become a serious problem if not addressed early.
At Evergreen Lawn & Pest Control, we specialize in identifying and eliminating termite infestations using safe, effective, and long-lasting solutions tailored to Florida homes. Whether you’re already seeing signs of damage or want to take a proactive approach, our team is here to help you protect your investment.
Understanding the Termite Threat
The most common type of termite in Florida is the subterranean termite. These termites live underground and build intricate tunnel systems to reach food sources — namely, the wood in and around your home. They thrive in moist environments and can quietly chew through support beams, flooring, drywall, and more — often without being detected until the damage is severe.
Another type we occasionally see is the drywood termite, which doesn’t need contact with soil and nests directly inside wood structures. These termites are more commonly found in attics, furniture, and wall voids.
Common Signs of a Termite Infestation
Because termites operate silently and underground, they can be difficult to spot. However, here are some signs that might indicate an infestation:
- Mud Tubes: Pencil-thin tunnels running along your foundation or walls — termites use these to travel and stay protected.
- Hollow-Sounding Wood: Tap on wooden surfaces; if it sounds empty or papery, termites may have eaten away the inside.
- Discarded Wings: After termites swarm (often in spring), they shed wings near windowsills and entry points.
- Blistering or Bubbling Paint: This can indicate moisture buildup from termite tunnels just beneath the surface.
- Frass (Termite Droppings): Looks like small wood-colored pellets and is a sign of drywood termite activity.
If you notice any of these, don’t wait — termites can quickly turn a small problem into a major repair bill.
Why Professional Termite Treatment Matters
DIY termite treatments from the hardware store often provide only temporary relief or don’t address the root of the problem. At Evergreen Lawn & Pest Control, our termite treatment plans are comprehensive and tailored to your specific situation. Here’s what we offer:
