Termite Control in Broward County
Florida has more termite species than any other state, and in Broward the swarming season starts as early as the last week of February — roughly two months before the rest of Florida. What you should do about it depends entirely on which species you have and how far it has spread, so the inspection comes first.

Identify the problem
Drywood or subterranean?
Drywood termites
- Live inside the wood itself, with no contact with soil
- Push out small hard pellets through kick-out holes
- Galleries cut across the wood grain and contain no mud
- Blistering or bubbling paint over damaged wood
Subterranean termites
- Live in the soil and travel up inside mud shelter tubes
- Tubes on foundation walls, piers and slab edges
- Galleries follow the grain and are packed with soil
- Formosan and Asian species are established in South Florida
How we handle it
We don't spray and pray.
- 01
Inspect first
Your tech works the structure — accessible wood, foundation line, attic and roofline — to find activity, identify the species and map how far it has spread. Nothing gets quoted before this.
- 02
Identify the species
Drywood, subterranean, or both. It changes the treatment entirely, and in Broward it is genuinely possible to have more than one at the same time.
- 03
Walk through the options
You get the methods that actually apply to your situation, what each one covers, what it doesn't, and the price — explained before you decide anything.
- 04
Treat and document
The work is carried out according to the product label, and you get a written record of what was applied and where.
Before you reach for the spray
Why the hardware store can't reach this one
Termites work out of sight — inside the wood or below the slab — and by the time damage is visible the colony has been there a while. Over-the-counter products reach the few inches you can see, not the galleries. And because the two main species need opposite approaches, treating for the wrong one costs you a season while the damage keeps going.

Questions we get every day
Winged swarmers indoors or discarded wings on a windowsill, small hard pellets under or beside wood, mud tubes running up a foundation wall, or wood that sounds hollow when you tap it. Blistering paint over a damaged board is another common one.
No. The appropriate method depends on the species, where the activity is, and how far it has spread. Some situations are handled locally and others are not — the inspection is what determines it, which is why we don't commit to a method over the phone.
Not on its own. Swarmers are drawn to light and can fly in from outside, so finding them indoors doesn't confirm activity in your structure. What confirms it is an inspection: discarded wings, frass, mud tubes or damage.
Termites have a straight, thick waist, straight antennae, and four wings of roughly equal length. Ants have a pinched, wasp-like waist, elbowed antennae, and hind wings noticeably shorter than the front pair.
Earlier than most of the state. UF/IFAS has recorded activity in the Fort Lauderdale area from the last week of February, while the rest of Florida generally doesn't start until mid-April. Different species swarm at different times of year and different times of day, which is part of how we identify them.
There's no honest number before an inspection — the species and the extent change the job completely. You'll get the price along with the options, before any work starts. Same-day inspections available Mon–Fri 9am–5pm.
Kids & pets at home
What we use, where it goes, when you can come back.
Products are placed into cracks, crevices and wall voids — spots where kids and pets can't reach — not sprayed across open floors. Before any work starts, your tech explains what we're using and what the label requires before you come back.
