What We Find on Brownsville Termite Inspections
Brownsville rose in one long stretch between the 1940s and the 1960s, and most of it still stands exactly as built. The walls are
concrete block. The roofs are not.
That is the whole job here. Under a tile or re-covered roof sits the original wood structure, seventy-odd years old, never replaced on most of these houses, and drywood doesn't care that the walls underneath are masonry. We find galleries in rafters, purlins, and fascia on streets where
nobody has ever had a reason to look into the roof space.
Subterranean runs second, up through slab cracks and
plumbing penetrations on ground that was Everglades prairie before the first
plats went in. Termite control services here nearly always
start above the ceiling rather than at the foundation.
Termite Species Active in Brownsville
Drywood Termites
Native Subterranean Termites
Nest underground and reach the structure through slab
cracks, foundation walls, and plumbing penetrations. The old prairie ground
under these plats holds moisture well into the dry season.
Asian Subterranean Termites
Invasive and widespread across the county, with colonies
several times the size of the native species and the ability to nest above
ground inside a structure. A clean perimeter does not clear a house here.

Common signs include pellet-like droppings below wood surfaces, pencil-width mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings near windows after rain, hollow-sounding wood, and paint bubbling on trim. Any one of those is worth an inspection, since termites usually cause noticeable damage before they become visible themselves.

When is termite season in South Florida?
Colonies feed year-round here, so there is no off season for the damage. What is seasonal is swarming: drywood and native subterranean swarms run from roughly February into May, and the invasive subterranean species swarm in late spring and early summer, usually in the evening after a warm rain.
