What We Find on Hollywood Termite Inspections

Hollywood has been added to continuously since the 1920s, and very little of it has been torn down. Open a wall near the beach or off Hollywood Boulevard, and you rarely find one building; you find four, stacked on each other.

The original framing is old-growth pine, dense enough that drywood struggles in it. What sits beside it does not: a 1950s rear addition, a 1970s enclosed porch, a 1990s re-roof and last year's cabinetry, all ordinary lumber, all butted straight into the original. Activity travels along that seam, and a homeowner who was told the house is solid old wood is usually right about the part that is not infested.

The beach blocks add salt to it. Small buildings converted from motels to condos and back again have exterior wood that has been weathering since before the last remodel covered it. Our termite control services on this stock begin with working out how many buildings we are actually looking at.

Termite Treatment Options in Hollywood

The method follows the species and the spread. We use these five here.

Sign warning of pesticide application with Royal Pest & Termite branding and contact details.

No-Tent Termite Treatment

Foam is injected into the galleries inside frames, joists, and trim. For layered construction, this treats the area that is infested without opening the areas that are not, which, in a repeatedly remodeled building, matters more than usual.

Termite Bait Stations

Stations in the soil at 10- to 20 foot intervals around the foundation. On older streets, additions have narrowed the usable perimeter, so placement works around what has been built over the original yard.

Liquid Termiticide Trenching

Trenching the foundation and laying a continuous liquid barrier. Additions poured hard against the line break the run here, and drilling through them keeps the treated line unbroken instead of stopping at them.

Termite Fumigation and Tenting

Full-structure work when drywood has moved across more than one framing era. That is the point at which chasing it section by section stops making sense, and our own crew runs the termite fumigation service rather than a subcontractor.

Pre-Construction Treatment

Slab-stage treatment at the slab stage on additions and rebuilds, which in Hollywood is most of the new work there is. A barrier installed with the slab costs a fraction of a retrofit under a finished addition.

Termite Species Active in Hollywood

Drywood Termites

Live inside the wood that they eat and need no soil contact at all. In Hollywood, they favor later additions and re-roofs over the original heart pine, and we find them crossing at the seam between the two.

Native Subterranean Termites

Nest underground and tube up through slab cracks, foundation walls, and plumbing penetrations. Low ground on either side of the FEC line keeps colonies active through the dry months.

Asian Subterranean Termites

Invasive and established along coastal Broward since the 1990s, with colonies larger than the native species and the ability to nest above ground inside a structure. On a building with concealed voids that habit is why a clean perimeter clears nothing.

Signs of Termites in Hollywood Homes

Discarded wings

Discarded wings near windows, sliding doors, or light fixtures, usually after a warm rain.

Termite frass

Small piles of pellet-like frass below wood surfaces.

Mud tubes

Pencil-width mud tubes on foundation walls, slab edges, or seawall caps.

Wood cracking

Wood that sounds hollow when tapped or crumbles under light pressure.

Wall damage

Paint bubbling or blistering on wood trim and casings.

Window damage

Doors or windows that suddenly stick as framing loses shape.

Flying insects

Flying termites indoors are often mistaken for flying ants.

Free Inspection

A licensed inspector covers the attic, foundation walls, frames, baseboards, and every wood-to-soil contact point. On waterfront properties we add seawall caps, dock framing, and irrigation lines, which are the entry points most often missed. No cost, no obligation.

Species Identification

Drywood and subterranean need different treatments, so identification comes first. We show you the evidence we found and explain what it means for your property before recommending anything.

Written Estimate

Fumigation and foam are priced by cubic footage; bait stations and trenching by linear footage around the foundation. You get the estimate in writing before anything is scheduled.

Treatment and Follow-Up

Licensed technicians do the work and walk you through preparation ahead of time. We inspect bait station accounts annually, and every treatment includes a warranty and callback guarantee.

Florida-licensed technicians, ongoing University of Florida training, and Florida Pest Management Association membership sit behind the work. Our own licensed crew performs fumigation instead of a subcontracted tenting company.

A dog inspired the name, and product selection starts with who lives in the house rather than what is eating it. One account and one guarantee cover Hollywood pest control and termite work.

Hollywood Neighborhoods We Serve

We treat termites across the city and throughout Broward County. Here is what the work usually looks like in the areas we work most often.

The original 1920s plat under mature canopy. Original framing with decades of additions behind it, and the seams between them are where activity travels.

Small buildings have been converted and reconverted since the 1950s. Salt-weathered exterior wood under later finishes is a recurring entry point.

Low-rise oceanfront with heavy remodel history. Interior finish is wood rather than structure; treated by injection, with adjacent units checked.

1960s and 1970s single-family homes on larger lots. Roof framing from the past fifty years, with attic drywood as the dominant finding.

Low-rise condo sections with continuous framing between units. A finding in one unit means checking the ones it connects to.

Mid-century housing near the country club frontage. Both types are present, with irrigation against the wall on the perimeter lots.

Post-war block homes with wood roof systems are now well past sixty years old. Attic framing carries most of what we find on these streets.

Later, single-family homes on the western side. Enclosed carports and Florida rooms added over the years are the usual weak points.

How much does termite treatment cost in Hollywood?

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.

What causes termites in a house?

A path in and a reason to stay. Subterranean colonies follow moisture and any point where wood meets soil, so irrigation against the wall, a slow leak, or a planting bed above the slab line usually causes it. Drywood termites need no path at all: a swarmer lands, gets through a vent or a gap in fascia, and starts a colony inside the wood.

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.

Can termites get into furniture?

Drywood termites can, and they do not need the piece to be touching anything. A colony can live inside a bookcase, a bed frame, or antique casework for years, which is how activity moves into a building that had none. If we find galleries in a movable piece, we treat it directly rather than tenting around it.

What kills termites instantly?

Nothing available to a homeowner does. Products promising it usually kill the termites you can see while leaving the colony intact, and surface sprays tend to drive activity deeper into the wood. Effective treatment works through the colony: bait and foam transfer between members until they reach the queen, and fumigation saturates the structure.

How do I know if I have termites?

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

What is a WDO inspection and do I need one to sell my home?

A wood-destroying organism inspection is a formal report on termite, wood-boring beetle, and wood-decay activity, and Florida lenders and buyers often require one during a transaction. It produces a signed state form rather than a standard report. If you are listing a property here, schedule it early enough to handle findings before closing.

Are your termite treatments safe for pets and children?

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.
