What We Find on Coral Gables
The Gables was built to plan in the 1920s and has protected that plan ever since. Mediterranean-revival houses, oolitic
limestone and coral rock, barrel tile, and a banyan canopy that is now a
century old.
The wood is what we are called about. Original casings, roof framing, exposed rafter tails, and the timber detailing that gives these houses their character are all reachable from outside, and all original, and dry wood gets into them long before anything shows indoors. The stone and stucco around
them changes nothing, since a colony living in a window casing has no interest
in what the wall is made of.
The canopy handles the rest. Banyan and live oak keep the
ground shaded and damp, root systems run under foundations, and subterranean
tubing turns up at slab edges and on the coral rock walls themselves.
Termite Species Active in Coral Gables
Drywood Termites
Live inside the wood they eat with no soil contact at all. In the Gables, they concentrate in original casings, roof framing, and exposed timber detailing, which the surrounding stone and stucco do nothing to protect.
Native Subterranean Termites
Nest underground and tube up through slab cracks, foundation
walls, and the coral rock itself. The deep canopy keeps the soil damp through
months when an open lot would have dried out.
Asian Subterranean Termites
Invasive and long established on this side of the county,
with colonies several times the size of the native species and the ability to
nest above ground inside a structure. Perimeter signs alone do not clear a
house here.

Termite Control Questions from Coral Gables Homeowners
How much does termite treatment cost in Coral Gables?
Can termites be treated without tenting my house?
What does termite damage look like?
Usually it looks like nothing until it is well along, because both groups eat from the inside out and leave the painted surface intact. What shows is secondary: trim that sounds hollow, paint that blisters in a line, a door that stops closing, or a floor with a soft spot. Opening the wood reveals galleries packed with soil in subterranean work and clean chambers in drywood work.
What attracts termites to a house?
Do newer homes get termites?
How soon can someone come out?
What happens if termites come back after treatment?
We come back out at no additional cost during your coverage period. That is our callback guarantee, and it applies to every treatment method we perform. If activity returns, call the office, and we will schedule a re-inspection rather than asking you to prove anything first.
