Termite Control in West Palm Beach, FL

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.

Yes, when the drywood activity is localized rather than spread through the structure. We inject foam directly into the galleries in the affected wood, and it moves through the colony from there. You don't have to leave the house or bag your food, so we check whether that is an option before recommending fumigation.

Mulch does not attract termites on its own, but it holds moisture against the foundation and gives subterranean colonies cover to reach the structure unseen. Keeping mulch a few inches off the wall and below the slab line removes most of that advantage. The same applies to stacked firewood and landscape timbers set against the house.

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.

Swarmers leave a mature colony to start new ones, usually after a warm rain, and they emerge in large numbers over a short window. Seeing them indoors means a colony is already established in or very near the structure. The wings they shed near windows and light fixtures often outlast the swarm itself and are what most homeowners find.

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