What We Find on Palm Beach County Termite Inspections

Palm Beach County splits east to west by build era, and the termite problem splits with it. On the coast, the wood is old; out west, the ground is wet.

The historic districts carry the heaviest drywood load we see anywhere. Pre-war frame housing in West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton still has original framing, casings, and roof structures in place, and because that wood is painted, the galleries stay hidden until the damage is well along.

The western communities are a different job entirely. Built from the 1980s onward on fill, around lake systems, with irrigation running against the foundation on nearly every lot. Subterranean pressure there comes from water and landscaping rather than from anything the house is made of. Termite control services follow which of the two you have.

Termite Treatment Options in Palm Beach County

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

No-Tent Termite Treatment

We inject foam into the galleries inside walls, casings, and frames. On the historic coastal stock, this is the first thing we try because it treats the colony without opening original material that cannot be replaced.

Termite Bait Stations

Install stations in the soil at 10- to 20-foot intervals around the foundation. This is the standard installation in the western communities, where irrigation keeps the ground damp on a schedule rather than by season.

Liquid Termiticide Trenching

Trenching the foundation and laying a continuous liquid barrier. On historic lots, we route around mature root systems and close setbacks; in the western communities, we route around irrigation lines and planting beds.

Termite Fumigation and Tenting

Full-structure work once drywood has moved past one or two areas. We run the tent fumigation with our own crew rather than handing it to a tenting contractor, so the company that inspected the house is the one that treats it.

Pre-Construction Treatment

Pre-construction termite treatment at the slab stage on new construction and additions. Worth scheduling on substantial renovation work running through the historic districts, where the barrier costs far less to install before the structure is up.

Termite Species Active in Palm Beach County

Drywood Termites

Live entirely inside the wood they eat with no soil contact. In this county, they turn up in original attic framing, roof sheathing, and window casings in pre-war coastal housing more than anywhere else we work.

Native Subterranean Termites

Nest underground and tube up through foundation walls, slab cracks, and plumbing penetrations. The high water table east of the rail corridor and the lake systems west of it keep colonies active year-round.

Asian Subterranean Termites

Invasive and now established along the Palm Beach County coast. Colonies grow larger than the native species and can nest above ground inside a structure, so a clean perimeter does not clear a property.

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.

Termite Control Questions from Palm Beach County Homeowners

How much does termite treatment cost in Palm Beach County?
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 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.
Do over-the-counter termite treatments work?

Not on an established colony. Retail sprays and foams treat the few inches you can reach, and the colony sits well past that, so activity usually continues behind the same wall you just treated. The higher cost is the delay: months of feeding while somebody waits to see whether it worked. Spot products are worth using on a piece of furniture, not on a house.

How long does termite treatment last?
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.
Do newer homes get termites?
Yes, and more often than owners expect. A pre-construction soil barrier is protection with a shelf life, not a permanent seal, and landscaping, irrigation, and additions installed afterward routinely cut through it. Concrete block construction does not change the answer either, because roof trusses, fascia, frames, and cabinetry are still wood.
What do termites look like in Florida?
Workers are the ones you rarely see: soft, pale, and about an eighth of an inch, usually hidden inside wood or a mud tube. What people actually find are the swarmers: darker, winged, and about half an inch long. Both pairs of wings are the same length, and the body has no pinched waist, which is what separates them from flying ants.
Can you treat a barn, shed, or detached structure?

Yes. Detached wood structures are often where infestations start, and inspectors often skip them when they only cover the house. We inspect and treat barns, stables, sheds, workshops, and fencing along with the main structure, and we price them in the same estimate.

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.
