Why Termites Are a Serious Threat in Florida (And How to Protect Your Home)

Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Florida, causing billions of dollars in damage nationwide each year. In North Central Florida, the warm, humid climate allows termite colonies to stay active almost year-round.

Types of Termites in Florida

  • Subterranean termites – Most common and destructive
  • Drywood termites – Often found in attics and wood structures

Signs of a Termite Problem

  • Mud tubes along walls or foundation
  • Hollow-sounding wood
  • Discarded wings near windows or doors
  • Bubbling or peeling paint

Why Termites Are So Dangerous

Termites work silently and often go unnoticed until significant damage has already occurred.

Potential damage includes:

  • Structural weakening
  • Damaged flooring and walls
  • Expensive repairs

Preventing Termite Infestations
