Termite Control & WDO Inspections in Broward & Palm Beach

What Florida's WDO inspection covers, what we look for, and how we treat it.

Termites and other wood-destroying organisms quietly damage South Florida homes and buildings every year. We find them, treat them, and help keep them from coming back, from bait stations and soil treatments to borate wood treatment.

The 4 wood-destroying organisms (WDOs)

Florida's WDO inspection looks for these four. Here's what each one leaves behind.

Mud tubes on foundations, piers and pipes

Drywood Termites

Infest wood directly. No soil contact needed

LOOK FOR
Pellet-like droppings (frass) near wood

Wood-Decay Fungi

Wet or dry rot in moisture-damaged wood

LOOK FOR
Discolored, spongy or crumbling wood

Wood-Boring Beetles

Powderpost beetles and old house borers

LOOK FOR
Tiny exit holes with fine, powdery frass

Other warning signs

Swarms of winged termites near windows, doors or lights
Piles of discarded wings on windowsills and floors

Small piles of pellets below baseboards, furniture or attic wood
02 · How we treat it

Treatment options

The right treatment depends on which termite you have and how widespread it is.

Live in the soil

Subterranean Termites

Soil treatment at the foundation, or monitored bait stations

Live in the wood

Drywood Termites

Spot treatment, or tent fumigation for widespread activity

Prevent & protect

Borate Wood Treatment

Soaks into wood to guard against termites, beetles, carpenter ants and decay fungi. Preventive or remedial. Ideal for new construction and re-roofs while the wood is exposed.

Trelona Bait System

For subterranean termites. Bait stations go in the ground around the home. Termites feed and carry the bait back, wiping out the colony. Stations are monitored on a regular schedule.

Termite & WDO questions

What does a WDO inspection cover?
It looks for the four wood-destroying organisms: subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-decay fungi and wood-boring beetles. It covers only visible, accessible areas and separates active infestation, past damage and undetermined findings.
Do I need a WDO report to sell or refinance?
It's commonly required for home sales, FHA/VA loans and refinancing in Florida (Form FDACS-13645). Check with your lender or agent for your specific deal.
Is a WDO report a guarantee there are no termites?
No. It covers only visible, accessible areas and is not a guarantee against hidden activity.
Do I need to tent my home?
Not always. Tent fumigation is for widespread drywood termite activity. Smaller drywood infestations can often be spot treated, and subterranean termites are handled with soil treatment or bait stations. We'll inspect and recommend what your property actually needs.
What's the difference between subterranean and drywood termites?
Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself with no soil contact needed, and leave pellet-like droppings behind.
When is borate wood treatment used?
It's preventive or remedial. It's especially effective during new construction and re-roofs, when the wood is exposed, and guards against termites, beetles, carpenter ants and decay fungi.
