Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Cedar Key's conditions — a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters, cooler and occasionally frosty compared to the rest of Florida — create exactly that. A blend of established rural and small-town homes and newer construction near the region's larger cities. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
