What We Find on Davie Termite Inspections
Davie sits on some of the lowest ground in central Broward,
threaded by the South New River canal system, and on many properties here
the water table is close enough to the surface that it changes what we can
physically install.
The finding itself is ordinary enough: native subterranean
tubing at slab edges, on pier and post sets, and up through plumbing
penetrations, kept going year-round by ground that never really drains. What is
not ordinary is the response. Dig a trench on the wrong lot in the wrong week, and it fills before the product goes in, which makes a liquid barrier the wrong
answer on ground where it will not hold.
Drywood runs alongside it in the older roof framing around
the town center and Orange Drive, where the houses predate most of the county. Termite
control services on a Davie property start with what the ground will
actually accept.
Termite Species Active in Davie
Drywood Termites
Live inside the wood they eat with no soil contact at all. In Davie, they show up in the roof framing of older homes near the town center and in the finished sections of detached structures.
Native Subterranean Termites
Nest underground and reach the structure through slab
cracks, foundation walls, pier sets, and plumbing penetrations. Ground this wet
keeps colonies working every month of the year, which makes this most of what
we treat here.
Formosan Subterranean Termites
Invasive and established across inland Broward, feeding
aggressively enough to do structural damage in months rather than years. Damp
ground and abundant wood suit it as well as they suit the native species.
Why Davie Homeowners Choose Royal Pest & Termite
Royal Pest & Termite is locally owned, based in Miramar,
and has served Broward County since 2014. Our technicians are Florida-licensed,
continue training through University of Florida programs, and are members of

than subcontracting it.
The name comes from the owner's dog, and so does the buying rule behind it: a product has to be right for a house with animals and children before it goes on the truck. Termite work joins your existing Davie pest control on one account and one guarantee.
Termite Control Questions from Davie Homeowners
How much does termite treatment cost in Davie?
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.
Do over-the-counter termite treatments work?
What do termite droppings look like?
Drywood frass looks like coarse sand or ground pepper, in tan to dark brown pellets with six flat sides and rounded ends. It collects in small piles below the wood it was pushed out of, often on a sill, a shelf, or the floor against a baseboard. If you sweep it up and find it again the next day, the colony is active.
How long does termite treatment last?
Can termites be treated without tenting my house?
How can I prevent termites?
How much does it cost to tent a house for termites in Davie?
Tenting is priced by cubic volume, so roof shape, ceiling height, and attached structures affect the number more than square footage. Two houses with the same square footage can be priced very differently once we measure the roof volume. We measure the actual structure during the free inspection.
