Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Estero's conditions — one of the most consistently hot and humid climates in the continental U.S., with a wet summer season and a milder, drier winter — create exactly that. Slab-on-grade concrete-block homes dominate, built to hurricane code, with minimal need for winter-focused design. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
