Stop Termites from Causing Damage to Your Home

Termites feast on wood and wood pulp, which can cause structural damage to homes and commercial properties. Unfortunately, termite infestations often go undetected until there is damage to the home. A termite infestation can result in damage to flooring, wall studs, drywall, support beams, floor joists, ceiling joists, and other wood materials.

The signs of a termite infestation include:

The Types of Termites in South Florida

There are four main types of termites in Florida: Drywood Termites, Subterranean Termites, Formosan Termites and Dampwood Termites

Termites, like rodents and other pests, often go unnoticed until the damage is done. The best defense? Preventative termite treatments, regular inspections, and watching for warning signs. If you spot damage or signs of activity, don’t wait — call a professional with termite expertise to protect your home or business.

Termites

Drywood Termites

Cryptotermes brevis

They infest wood without needing soil contact or much moisture. They nest inside dry wood structures like homes, condos, offices, or attics. Their main sign is frass, small droppings that look like sawdust.

Termites

Subterranean Termites

Reticulitermes spp.

These termites nest in soil and rely on moisture to survive. They travel through underground tunnels and build mud tubes to reach above ground. Mud tubes along your foundation are the main sign of an infestation, and these termites cause most of the serious structural damage.

Formosan Termites

Coptotermes formosanus

Are aggressive subterranean termites that nest in soil but can also build aerial nests inside walls or attics. Their massive colonies cause severe structural damage fast. Mud tubes, swarmers near lights, or hidden nests are signs of an infestation.

Termites

Dampwood Termites

Zootermopsis angusticollis

Dampwood termites infest wet, decaying wood and need constant moisture to survive. They’re often found in water-damaged areas like leaky roofs, crawl spaces, or decayed tree stumps. Unlike other termites, they don’t build mud tubes but their presence signals excess moisture problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tenting is the gold standard for large drywood termite infestations. However, no-tent options are available for smaller, localized issues, especially when early detection occurs. Tent fumigation ensures complete elimination of drywood termites by penetrating all wood structures throughout the home.

A no-tent termite treatment is a whole-home drywood termite service that does not require the home to be covered with a fumigation tarp. This method involves treating all accessible areas of the attic, around doors and windows, and any locations showing visible signs of activity, such as frass (termite droppings) or kick-out holes. It’s often chosen when fumigation is not practical due to scheduling, health concerns, or logistical restrictions.
Homeowners typically need to vacate the property for 2 nights and 3 days during a termite tent fumigation. The process includes sealing the home, introducing a gas fumigant, and allowing time for aeration before re-entry is approved.
Yes. Licensed fumigation professionals use sulfuryl fluoride (commonly branded as Vikane), a gas that leaves no residue and dissipates completely. Re-entry is only allowed after the home is cleared with specialized equipment that detects 0 parts per million of fumigant in the air.
No. Sulfuryl fluoride gas leaves no residue behind. There is no need to wash clothing, dishes, or surfaces once the home is cleared for re-entry. All air inside the structure is tested to ensure safety before occupants return.
Customers are contacted by the fumigation company as soon as the home is cleared and safe to re-enter. Clearance is based on air quality testing using certified devices that confirm no fumigant remains in the structure.
Yes. Tent fumigation for drywood termites is commonly used throughout Palm Beach County, Martin County, and Port St. Lucie due to Florida’s high risk of termite infestations. It remains one of the most effective termite treatment methods in tropical and coastal climates.
Yes. According to the Vikane® (sulfuryl fluoride) fumigant label, the air inside the home must test at or below 1.0 parts per million (ppm) before it is cleared for re-entry. Licensed professionals use calibrated detection equipment to measure gas levels after aeration. **While the legal threshold is 1.0 ppm, many top-rated companies in South Florida strive to exceed this safety standard by clearing homes at 0.0 ppm, offering customers added peace of mind. Air quality is confirmed before homeowners are notified that it is safe to return.
The cost to fumigate a home for drywood termites typically ranges from $1,200 to $4,000 or more, depending on the cubic volume of the structure. Unlike traditional pest control pricing based on square footage, tent fumigations are calculated using the height, length, and width of the home to determine the total volume of airspace that needs to be sealed and treated.
In South Florida, smaller homes may start around $1,200 to $1,800, while larger two-story homes with high ceilings and add-ons can reach $3,000 to $4,500+. Pricing may also vary depending on accessibility, fencing, vegetation, roof pitch, and complexity of sealing the structure.
Licensed termite inspectors will typically perform a full inspection and measure the cubic volume of the home using a professional diagram to provide an accurate quote. It’s important to work with a licensed and insured company familiar with local regulations and safety protocols, including air clearance testing after the fumigation.
No, items like toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, shampoo, lotion, and cosmetics do not need to be bagged before a fumigation, as long as they are sealed and not meant to be ingested. According to structural fumigation safety guidelines and the Vikane® gas label, only food, beverages, tobacco products, vitamins, and medications must be removed or placed in special Nylofume® bags. These items are considered ingestible and must be protected. Fumigation gas leaves no residue, so sealed personal care items are safe to remain in the home during the process. When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to ask your termite professional for clarification.
All food not factory-sealed, open snacks, spices, and pet food must be double-bagged in Nylofume bags or removed from the home. Medications, vitamins, and dental products should also be bagged. Sealed cans, bottled water, and unopened glass or plastic containers can remain in place.
Homeowners should:
– Turn off air conditioning before fumigation
– Provide a key for tent access (often placed in a lockbox)
– Shut off gas service to the home (if applicable)
– Be ready to vacate by 8 a.m. on the first day of treatment
– Clear at least 18 inches of space around the exterior perimeter, including moving back mulch, rocks, and shrubs to allow proper tarp sealing
No. Termite fumigation uses a gas, not a liquid, so there is no residue or lingering odor. Any warning agents used during treatment dissipate before the home is cleared for safe return.
Yes. Before anyone is allowed back into the home, licensed professionals test the air using sensitive clearance devices to ensure 0 parts per million of fumigant remains. This ensures the home is completely safe for families, pets, and belongings.
Fumigation is widely considered the most thorough option for eliminating drywood termites, as it penetrates all wood structures and hidden voids throughout the home. No-tent treatments are a good alternative for homes with limited or early-stage infestations, but they do not reach every internal space the way gas fumigation does. No-tent treatments are often used when homeowners cannot vacate the home for multiple days or when infestations are isolated and accessible.
No-tent termite treatments in South Florida typically range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on factors such as home size, extent of activity, and accessibility of affected areas. Homes with multiple entry points, larger attics, or widespread signs may fall on the higher end. Most pest control companies offer a written inspection report with pricing based on the structure and scope of treatment.
Most of the treatment can be performed while the homeowner is present, but occupants and pets must leave the home for at least 4 hours during attic treatment. This ensures safety while products are applied in enclosed areas with limited ventilation. Re-entry is typically allowed the same day after the required waiting period.

Professionals typically treat:

• All accessible attic framing and wood structures

• Around windows, doors, and baseboards

• Localized spots showing frass or kick-out holes

• Wall voids or utility access points where applicable

• The treatment is designed to target both known infestations and common drywood termite entry areas throughout the structure.

Yes. Drywood termites often form multiple hidden colonies that may not be visible during the initial inspection. New signs of activity may appear weeks or even months after treatment, especially in untreated or inaccessible voids. That’s why many South Florida homeowners opt for a termite warranty plan after no-tent treatment, which includes free retreatments and annual inspections.
Many termite professionals offer warranty plans that include:

• Annual inspections
• Free retreatments if the activity returns
• Transferable coverage when selling the home

This type of plan is highly recommended in high-pressure areas like Palm Beach County, Port St. Lucie, Jupiter, and Boynton Beach, where termite activity is year-round due to warm, humid conditions.
