Termite Control in Boynton Beach, FL

Cost depends on the species, the home's size and construction, and how far the activity has spread. We price fumigation and foam by cubic footage because the product must reach throughout the structure; we price bait stations and trenching by linear footage around the foundation. We inspect for free and give you a written estimate before scheduling.

A termite bond is an ongoing agreement that covers inspection, monitoring, and re-treatment for a set period, renewed annually. It keeps protection active after the initial treatment, so you don't have to catch the next colony yourself. Terms vary by treatment method, and we'll review what yours covers before you sign anything.

Between six and ten years, depending on the method. Bait stations are inspected annually, with bait replaced every two to four years, and liquid foundation trenching gives roughly five years of barrier protection. Every treatment carries a warranty, and annual renewals extend coverage past the original term.

Standard Florida homeowners policies generally exclude it because insurers treat termite damage as preventable maintenance rather than sudden loss. That exclusion is why annual inspections matter. Repair costs on structural framing fall to the owner, and catching a colony early costs far less than replacing what it has eaten.

Drywood termites live inside the wood they eat and don't need soil contact, so they show up in attics, door frames, and window sills. Subterranean termites nest underground, build mud tubes to reach the structure, and run much larger colonies. In Boynton Beach, we regularly find both on the same property, and each needs its own treatment.

Mulch does not attract termites on its own, but it holds moisture against the foundation and gives subterranean colonies cover to reach the structure unseen. Keeping mulch a few inches off the wall and below the slab line removes most of that advantage. The same applies to stacked firewood and landscape timbers set against the house.

Yes. Products are selected for homes with pets and kids, and for bait stations, foam, and trenching the application points are places children and animals cannot reach. Royal Pest is named after the owner's dog, so this has shaped product choices since 2014. Fumigation is the one method that requires the household to leave, and we walk you through exactly when it is clear to return.
