Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Fruitland Park's conditions — a climate with a pronounced wet season from June through October and a milder dry season the rest of the year — create exactly that. Slab-on-grade stucco and concrete-block homes dominate, built rapidly during the region's sustained growth. 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.
