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 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.

Termite Control Questions from Palm Beach County Homeowners
How much does termite treatment cost in Palm Beach County?
What is a WDO inspection, and do I need one to sell my home?
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?
Do newer homes get termites?
What do termites look like in Florida?
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.
