Termite Control Service in Central Florida
Termites are responsible for billions of dollars in property damage every year across the United States, and Florida consistently ranks among the most termite-active states in the country. The combination of warm temperatures, high humidity, and abundant moisture creates ideal conditions for termite colonies to thrive year-round, and because termites work silently from the inside out, many homeowners don't realize they have a problem until significant damage has already been done.
In Central Florida, subterranean termites are the most common threat, but drywood termites are also prevalent and require a different treatment approach. Whether you're a homeowner looking to protect your investment, a buyer who needs a Wood-Destroying Insect Report before closing, or a property manager dealing with an active infestation, Pro Service Pest Solutions has the experience, the products, and the treatment programs to get the job done right and keep your property protected long term.

Protect Your Home, Protect Your Investment
Termite control is not a one-and-done service. Effective protection requires the right treatment for your specific situation, combined with ongoing monitoring to make sure new activity doesn't take hold. Here's what our process looks like from start to finish:
- Thorough inspection: We start with a comprehensive inspection of your property, examining the foundation, crawlspaces, attic, and any wood-to-soil contact points where termite activity is most likely to originate or be visible
- Species identification: Subterranean and drywood termites require different treatment approaches, so correctly identifying the species present is a critical first step before any treatment begins
- Treatment recommendation: We offer multiple treatment methods including liquid termiticide applications using Termidor, bait station monitoring systems using Trelona ATBS, and combination approaches for more complex infestations. We'll explain the options and recommend what makes the most sense for your property and budget
- Treatment application: Our certified technicians carry out treatment thoroughly and precisely, whether that means applying a liquid barrier around the foundation, installing bait stations at strategic intervals around the perimeter, or a combination of both
- Documentation: We provide full documentation of the inspection findings and treatment performed, which is especially important for real estate transactions requiring a Wood-Destroying Insect Report
- Annual renewal program: After treatment, we offer annual renewal inspections that keep your warranty active and give us the opportunity to catch any new activity before it becomes a serious problem. Renewals include a full inspection, continued monitoring, and retreatment and damage repair coverage if needed
- Ongoing monitoring: For properties on a bait station program, we check and service stations on an annual basis, replacing bait as needed and monitoring for any new termite pressure around the property

Understanding Termites in Central Florida
Florida has one of the most diverse and active termite populations in North America, and Central Florida homeowners face threats from multiple species. Knowing what you're up against is the first step toward protecting your property.
Subterranean termites are by far the most destructive and most common species in the region. They live in underground colonies that can contain hundreds of thousands of workers and build mud tubes to travel between their colony and above-ground food sources. A mature subterranean termite colony can consume several pounds of wood per week, and because they work from the inside out, damage can be extensive before any visible signs appear on the surface.
Drywood termites are different in that they don't require contact with soil. They infest dry wood directly, including structural lumber, furniture, and hardwood floors, and are commonly introduced into homes through infested furniture or wood products. They tend to produce small piles of pellet-like droppings called frass, which is often one of the first visible signs of their presence.
One of the most important things homeowners can do is watch for swarmers, which are winged reproductive termites that emerge in large numbers, typically in the spring, to start new colonies. Swarms near your home or inside it are a serious warning sign that a colony may already be established on or near your property. If you see swarmers, call us right away.
