Signs of termites in Florida homes

Termites work silently for years before you see damage. Catch them early — if you spot any of these, call for an inspection. For a deeper guide, read the signs of termites and how to get rid of termites.

Termite risk checklist

Is your home at risk of termites?

Termites live where you do — so most Central Florida homes have at least a few risk factors. Count how many sound like your property, then let us confirm with a free inspection.

Moist soil or poor drainage
Wood mulch against the foundation
Tree stumps or wood debris in the yard
Foliage or shade touching the structure
A wooden deck, fence, or wood siding
A/C drip lines & downspouts near the slab
Trees and shrubs close to the home
A crawl space or additions to the home
Foundation or mortar cracks
No gutters (or clogged gutters)
A firewood pile near the house
A sprinkler system that wets the foundation

Sentricon Certified Specialist — the standard for termite colony elimination

Colony elimination, not just a quick fix

Killing the termites you can see doesn't protect your home — the colony is still out there, and it's common for 2+ colonies to forage around a single house. The Sentricon® system starts working the moment it's in the ground: termites prefer its bait nearly 10× more than wood, so they eat it instead of your home, then carry it back until the whole colony — queen included — collapses. With ongoing service from a Certified Sentricon Specialist, it keeps watch 24/7/365.

How the Sentricon® system works

It turns termites' own biology against them — no drilling your slab and no trenching your yard. Here's the science, start to finish.

1

Foraging termites find it

Worker termites forage around the clock and discover the bait inside discreet in-ground Sentricon stations placed around your home.

2

They share the bait

Termites prefer the bait nearly 10× more than wood, and carry it back to feed the rest of the colony — including the queen.

3

Termites can't molt

Sentricon's active ingredient stops termites from molting. Without molting, they can't survive.

4

The colony collapses

With no workers left to feed her, the queen and the whole colony crumble — then the stations keep protecting 24/7/365.

Areas of high risk

Where termites get into your home

Termites live where you do — quietly, out of sight. As Certified Sentricon Specialists, we know exactly where they slip in, and we build protection around every one of these entry points.

  • Cellulose in wood

    Framing, trim, and stored lumber are food — termites are drawn to the cellulose inside.

  • Gaps around pipes & gutters

    Plumbing penetrations and downspouts create hidden highways straight to the structure.

  • Cracks around windows & doors

    Even hairline gaps let swarmers and workers slip inside undetected.

  • Cracks in mortar & foundation

    Foundation and mortar cracks give subterranean colonies a direct route up from the soil.

  • Wood-to-soil contact & moisture

    Damp soil against wood and leaky areas are exactly where Florida termites thrive.

Termite control FAQ

It depends on your home's size, the type of termite (subterranean vs. drywood), and the treatment method. After a free inspection we'll give you a clear, no-obligation quote. Call 407-713-7853 to schedule.

We place discreet bait stations around your home's perimeter. Foraging termites carry the bait back to the colony, which eliminates it at the source. As Certified Sentricon Specialists, we monitor the stations for ongoing protection.

It depends on the termite. Subterranean termites are best handled with baiting and liquid barrier treatments. For widespread drywood infestations we partner with tenting companies, and we can spot-treat localized drywood activity in-house.

We recommend an annual termite inspection in Central Florida, plus a WDO inspection any time you're buying or selling a home. Ongoing monitoring with a termite warranty keeps protection continuous.

Yes. We offer renewable termite warranties (often called termite bonds) so your home stays monitored and protected year after year, with re-treatment coverage if activity returns.

Usually not. Termite damage is considered preventable, so it's rarely covered by homeowners insurance — and repairs can cost thousands. That's why ongoing protection like the Sentricon system, backed by a renewable bond, is so valuable.

Look at three things: termites have straight antennae, a thick waist, and two pairs of equal-length wings that break off easily; flying ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist, and longer front wings. If you're seeing swarmers indoors, call for an inspection right away.
