Panama City's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer construction, with more traditional Southern-style housing than the concrete-block homes further south. Combined with the local climate — a climate that behaves more like the Deep South than the tropical peninsula, with real (if brief) cold snaps in winter — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
