Professional Termite Treatment for South Florida Homes
Florida leads the nation in termite activity, and South Florida's warm, humid climate makes homes here especially vulnerable. Whether it's drywood termites eating through your attic framing or subterranean termites tunneling up through your foundation, the damage can be severe, and most homeowners' insurance policies won't cover it.
At Royal Pest & Termite, we've been protecting South Florida homes from termite damage since 2014.
How to Tell If You Have Termites
Termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can cause significant damage before you ever see one. Knowing what to look for can help you catch an infestation early and minimize costly repairs. Here are the most common signs of termites in South Florida homes:
1. Discarded Wings - Winged termites (swarmers) emerge from mature colonies to start new ones. If you find piles of small, translucent wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures, a colony is likely nearby, or already in your home.
2. Termite Frass (Droppings) - Drywood termites push their droppings, called frass, out of tiny holes in the wood they're consuming.
3. Mud Tubes - Subterranean termites build pencil-width mud tubes along foundation walls, pipes, and other surfaces to travel between their underground colony and the wood in your home.
4. Hollow or Damaged Wood -
5. Bubbling or Peeling Paint - Paint that appears to bubble, peel, or become uneven on wooden surfaces can indicate moisture buildup from termite activity underneath.
6. Tight-Fitting Doors or Windows - As termites consume wood in door and window frames, the structural shape can shift, making doors and windows stick or difficult to open and close.
How Our Termite Inspection & Treatment Process Works
From your first call to ongoing protection, here's what to expect when you partner with Royal Pest & Termite.
Types of Termites in South Florida
Understanding which type of termite you're dealing with is critical because each species requires a different treatment approach. South Florida homes are at risk from both of Florida's primary termite types:
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites live entirely inside the dry, undecayed wood they consume. They don't need contact with soil or an external water source, which means they can infest any wooden structure in your home: attic framing, door frames, window sills, baseboards, and even wooden furniture.
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are the most destructive termite species in the United States. They build massive underground colonies that can contain over a million termites and forage up to 150 feet in search of wood. They enter homes through cracks in the foundation, expansion joints in concrete slabs, and around plumbing penetrations.

Termite Control FAQs for South Florida Homeowners
How do I know if I have termites?
The most common signs include small piles of pellet-like droppings (frass) near wood surfaces, pencil-width mud tubes on your foundation walls, discarded wings near windows or doors, wood that sounds hollow when tapped, and paint that bubbles or peels on wooden surfaces. In South Florida, you may also see termite swarmers — winged termites that emerge to start new colonies, typically in spring and early summer. If you notice any of these signs, call us for a free inspection.
What’s the difference between drywood and subterranean termites?
Drywood termites live inside the wood they eat and don’t need contact with soil. They’re typically found in attics, door frames, and window sills, and they leave behind small pellet-like droppings called frass. Subterranean termites build colonies underground and travel to your home through mud tubes. They’re more destructive because their colonies are much larger — often containing over a million termites. Each type requires different treatment methods, which is why a proper inspection is the first step.
How much does termite treatment cost?
The cost of termite treatment depends on several factors including the type of termite, the size and construction of your home, the severity of the infestation, and the treatment method required. For drywood termites, pricing is typically based on cubic footage since the gas or foam needs to reach throughout the structure. For subterranean treatments like bait stations or trenching, pricing is based on linear footage around the foundation. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Are your termite treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. Every termite treatment product we use is selected with your family’s safety in mind. For non-tenting treatments like bait stations, foam injection, and foundation trenching, the products are applied in targeted areas that are inaccessible to kids and pets. Our company was named after the owner’s dog — protecting pets is a core value, not an afterthought.
What is a no-tent termite treatment?
A no-tent termite treatment eliminates drywood termites without enclosing your home in a tent. We inject termiticide foam directly into the wood where termites are active. The product flows through the termite galleries and is transferred between colony members, eventually reaching the queen. This method works best for localized infestations and doesn’t require you to leave your home or to prepare.
How long does termite treatment last?
Our termite treatments are effective for 6 to 10 years, depending on the method used. Bait stations are inspected and maintained annually, with bait lasting 2 to 4 years before replacement. Liquid foundation trenching provides approximately 5 years of barrier protection. All treatments include a warranty, and we offer annual renewals to extend your coverage.
