The Problem
Why Termites Are a Major Threat in Cape Coral
Cape Coral’s unique environment creates ideal conditions for termite colonies to thrive
Moist Soil Conditions
Frequent rainfall keeps soil moist year-round—perfect breeding conditions for subterranean termites that need moisture to survive.
Waterfront Properties
With 400+ miles of canals, most Cape Coral homes are near water—elevating risk for termite entry and infestation.
Hidden Colonies
Subterranean termites create colonies just beneath the surface, often going undetected for months or even years.
No Insurance Coverage
Standard homeowners’ insurance typically doesn’t cover termite damage, making prevention a smart investment.
Know Your Enemy
Common Termite Species in Cape Coral
Cape Coral’s subtropical climate makes it a hotspot for several termite species
Subterranean Termites
The most common and destructive type in Florida. They build colonies underground and enter homes through tiny cracks in concrete or expansion joints. The invasive Formosan variety is particularly aggressive in Lee County.
Drywood Termites
Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites establish colonies within the wood itself and don’t require soil contact. They’re especially common in older homes with wooden trim and can go undetected for years.
Warning Signs
Signs of a Termite Infestation
Early detection can save thousands in repair costs. Watch for these warning signs:
Mud Tubes
Pencil-thin tunnels along your foundation, walls, or other structural elements. Termites build these as protected pathways from colony to food source.
Hollow-Sounding Wood
Tap on wooden structures—if they sound hollow, termites may be boring from the inside out, leaving only a thin shell.
Termite Swarms
Winged termites (swarmers) leaving to start new colonies. Seeing these in or around your home indicates an active infestation nearby.
Discarded Wings
Swarmers shed their wings once they find a location. Finding piles of tiny wings near doors, windows, or light sources signals activity.
Frass (Droppings)
Small, pellet-like droppings that look like sawdust or coffee grounds. Often found in small piles beneath infested wood.
Warped Doors & Windows
Doors or windows that suddenly stick or won’t close properly. Termite damage can warp frames as they consume wood.
How We Help
Our Termite Inspection & Treatment Process
Comprehensive protection from inspection through ongoing monitoring
Thorough Inspection
We examine both interior and exterior of your property including attics, crawl spaces, baseboards, and all wooden structures. Using moisture meters and advanced detection tools, we identify active infestations and conditions that could lead to future problems.
Customized Treatment
Based on our findings, we develop a targeted treatment plan using liquid barrier systems, baiting programs, or localized wood treatments. Each approach is selected based on infestation severity, property layout, and your family’s needs.
Ongoing Monitoring
After treatment, we provide regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure your property stays termite-free. Our GPS-tracked bait stations are checked routinely, and we stand behind our work with a pest-free guarantee.
Prevention
Tips to Prevent Termite Infestations
Reduce your risk with these proactive measures
Control Moisture
Fix leaky faucets, pipes, and AC units. Ensure gutters direct water away from your foundation. Termites need moisture to survive.
Remove Wood Sources
Keep firewood, lumber, and scrap wood at least 5 feet from your foundation. Never store wood against your home’s exterior.
Seal Entry Points
Seal cracks and gaps in your foundation, around pipes, and near doors and windows. Termites can enter through tiny openings.
Maintain Landscaping
Keep mulch several inches from your foundation. Trim shrubs 18+ inches from your house to improve airflow and visibility.
