Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Islamorada's conditions — a tropical climate with hot, humid conditions nearly year-round and a pronounced hurricane season — create exactly that. A mix of established neighborhoods and newer resort-adjacent development, nearly all built on slab foundations. 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.
