What To Look For

Signs You Have Subterranean Termites

Mud tubesPencil-width tubes running up foundation walls, piers, or wood framing are subterranean termites’ protected path between soil and wood.

Hollow-sounding woodTapping on baseboards, door frames, or structural wood that sounds hollow or papery often means the interior has been hollowed out.

Discarded wingsPiles of small, uniform wings near windowsills or doors after a swarm are a strong sign of a nearby active colony.

Doors and windows stickingTermite activity can warp wood framing from moisture and damage, making doors and windows unexpectedly difficult to open or close.

Our Approach

How We Treat Subterranean Termites

01

Inspect

A full inspection identifies active mud tubes, damage extent, and conducive conditions — the basis of Florida’s required WDO report.

02

Liquid Soil Treatment

A continuous chemical barrier is applied around the structure’s perimeter, cutting off the colony’s access from the soil.

03

Bait Station Placement

Where appropriate, in-ground bait stations are added to monitor and eliminate colony activity over time.

04

1-Year Re-Treatment Warranty

If activity returns within the warranty period, we re-treat at no additional cost — real accountability, not just a one-time spray.

Common Questions

Subterranean Termite FAQ

How do subterranean termites get into my home?
They travel from underground colonies through soil contact with your foundation, building mud tubes to reach wood while staying protected from open air. Any wood-to-soil contact around your home is a potential entry point.
What’s the difference between subterranean and drywood termites?
Subterranean termites live in the soil and need ground contact to survive, while drywood termites nest directly inside dry wood with no soil connection at all. They require different treatment methods, which is why the inspection identifies the species first.
Do I need a WDO report, and what is it?
A WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) report is Florida’s official inspection document, filed under FDACS-13645 and governed by FL Statute 482.226. It’s typically required for real estate transactions and documents any active or past termite activity found on the property.
