Protect Your Biggest Investment

Termites can remain hidden behind walls, beneath floors, inside attics, and within structural wood while causing damage homeowners may not immediately notice. Routine inspections can help identify visible evidence and conditions that may make a property more vulnerable to termite activity.

If we find something concerning, we’ll show you the evidence, explain what it means, and discuss the appropriate next step.

Our Termite Services

Termite protection is not one-size-fits-all. The appropriate approach depends on the property, construction, termite species, evidence discovered, and whether the goal is prevention or treatment of active activity.

Inspections

We examine accessible areas for visible evidence of termite activity, damage, entry points, and conditions that may place the property at greater risk.

Prevention

Preventative options are designed around the home’s construction, surrounding conditions, and the type of termite pressure common to the property.

Treatment

When termite activity is discovered, we explain the evidence and recommend a treatment option appropriate for the home and situation.

Monitoring

Follow-up inspections and ongoing monitoring help us evaluate the property and confirm that the termite protection remains in place.

Florida is home to several types of termites, including subterranean and drywood termites. Annual professional inspections can help identify visible evidence of activity and conditions that may place a home at greater risk.

Signs You May Have Termites

Termites often remain hidden, but certain signs may indicate that a professional inspection is needed:

  • Mud tubes on foundations, walls, or structural components
  • Termite swarmers in or around the home
  • Discarded wings near doors, windows, or lights
  • Wood that sounds hollow or appears damaged
  • Bubbling, blistering, or unusual paint damage
  • Doors or windows that suddenly become difficult to open
  • Soft or weakened wood
  • Small piles of drywood termite pellets, known as frass

Some of these conditions can have causes unrelated to termites. A professional inspection is the best way to determine whether visible evidence is associated with termite activity.

Evidence Before Recommendations

Termite decisions should be based on evidence—not fear or pressure. With pest-management experience dating back to 1993, the Bug Cops team knows how to look beyond the obvious and evaluate the conditions surrounding a property.

We’ll explain what we inspected, show you visible evidence when it is accessible, and help you understand the difference between active termite activity, previous damage, and conditions that may increase future risk. If protection or treatment is recommended, we’ll explain why.

Frequently Asked Questions

Annual termite inspections are generally recommended for Florida homes. The appropriate frequency may also depend on the property, previous termite history, existing protection, and the requirements of any termite agreement.

Termites require specialized inspections and treatment methods and are not automatically included in general household pest service. We’ll explain which services are included in your current protection plan.

Subterranean termites generally live in the soil and travel to structures in search of food and moisture. Drywood termites live within the wood they infest and do not require contact with the soil. Because their behavior differs, inspection and treatment options can differ as well.

You do not ordinarily need to leave for an inspection. Whether you must leave during treatment depends on the treatment method and areas involved. We’ll explain all preparation and safety instructions before any work begins.

The answer depends on the treatment method, property conditions, environmental factors, and whether the protection is inspected or renewed over time. We’ll explain the expected service life, monitoring requirements, and any applicable agreement before treatment.

Avoid disturbing areas where activity appears to be emerging. If possible, take photographs or save a few specimens for identification, then contact Bug Cops for an inspection. Swarmers do not always confirm an infestation inside the structure, but they should be professionally evaluated.
