Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Fort White's conditions — a climate shaped by pine forest and river terrain, humid but with more seasonal variation than South Florida — create exactly that. Wood-frame and brick homes are more common here than the concrete-block construction typical of South Florida. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
