Subterranean. Drywood. Formosan. We've treated all three across Palm Beach County for 34 years — family-owned, same crew on every job, honest flat-rate pricing. We're a strictly no-tent shop: targeted Termidor SC, spot-injection wood treatment, and our TermTrak scanner. If pests come back within 12 months, we come back at no charge.
Different termites, different damage, different chemistry. We diagnose first — then quote.
The most common termite in South Florida. They build mud tubes from the ground into wall voids and structural framing. Treat with a Termidor SC liquid soil barrier around the foundation — it transfers from termite to termite back to the colony.
Treatment: Termidor SC trench & rod · 8–10 yr protection
No soil contact needed — they swarm, land on your house, and bore directly into attic rafters, eaves, and door frames. We map them with our TermTrak scanner and treat with targeted borate-based wood treatment and spot-injection straight into the active galleries. No tents, no displacement.
Treatment: TermTrak mapping · borate spot-injection
A subterranean termite on steroids — colonies hit 5 million workers and they chew through wood up to ten times faster. Found in Delray and Boynton most often. We treat with Termidor HE — high-efficacy formula for big colonies.
Treatment: Termidor HE · monitoring stations
$5B
in damage U.S. homeowners pay every year because termites aren't covered by homeowners insurance.
A Termidor treatment runs $1,200–$2,800 for a typical Palm Beach County home. A re-roof from termite damage averages $34,000. The math is not subtle.
A licensed inspector spends 45–60 minutes walking your home — attic, crawl, slab perimeter. Probe wood. Check for mud tubes, frass, and swarmers.
We bring back a sample. Subterranean, drywood, or Formosan changes the whole treatment plan — and the price by thousands.
Same-day. No "we'll call you." Flat price, no upsell line items. You see exactly what we're treating and with what.
Termidor SC trenching is a 4–6 hour job for the average house. You stay home. We work. Pets are fine indoors.
Free for the life of your service plan. Same technician comes back, probes again, files the paperwork. If termites return within 12 months, we re-treat at no charge.
We don't subcontract. We don't hide the chemistry. Here's what's different.

Our TermTrak scanner — a microwave-radar termite detection device — finds active galleries through walls without tearing into them. Then we treat with Termidor.
Termidor's active ingredient is fipronil, applied at 0.06%. At that concentration, it's undetectable to termites — they walk through it, carry it back to the colony, groom each other, and the whole nest collapses within 90 days. Liquid Termidor SC stays effective in soil for 8–10 years according to UF/IFAS field trials.
It's why we're not switching to in-ground bait stations as our primary tool — bait works, but it's slower, more expensive over a 10-year window, and harder to verify.
If you see any of these, call us today. We'll come out free.
Pencil-thick brown tubes running up your foundation, slab edge, or pier blocks. That's subterranean termites highway.
Small piles of clear, equal-length wings on window sills after a warm rainy evening. That's a swarm landing.
Hexagonal sand-like pellets the color of cinnamon, on floors below ceiling beams or door frames. Drywood termite waste.
Tap a baseboard or door jamb. Sounds papery instead of solid? Termites have eaten the inside.
Wood frames swell as termite galleries fill with moisture. A door that suddenly won't latch can be the first hint.
Looks like water damage from a small leak. Often it's drywood termites tunneling just under the paint surface.
Soldiers bang their heads against gallery walls when disturbed. At night, in a quiet room, you can actually hear it.
The expensive sign. Means structural framing is compromised. Don't wait — call today.
Most pest companies won't post numbers. We will. Final price depends on linear footage and access — but you'll be in this range.
