Formosan termite control in Orlando that stops super-colonies

The Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) is an invasive termite now established in Florida. Like native subterranean termites it lives in the soil, but its colonies are much larger — often millions of termites — and it can build carton nests above ground inside walls when it finds moisture.

Formosan termites are considered among the most destructive termites in the U.S. because their huge colonies eat wood faster than native species. That's why colony elimination, not just spot treatment, is so important.

Watch for large swarms of yellowish-brown winged termites around lights on warm evenings in late spring and early summer, soldiers with oval orange heads, and carton nest material in walls. A free inspection confirms the species.

For most Central Florida homes, the Sentricon® colony elimination system is the strongest long-term option because it eliminates the entire colony, queen included. Liquid barrier treatment and fixing moisture problems may be added depending on what the inspection finds.

It depends on your home's size and construction, how active the colony is, and whether you choose Sentricon, a liquid barrier, or both. We give you a clear, no-obligation quote after a free inspection. Call 407-713-7853.
