South Florida Drywood Termite Elimination: No-Tent vs. Tent Solutions
A termite infestation ranks high on the list of the worst stressful events that home and business owners might face during their lives. Termites can cause extensive structural and property damage that becomes more difficult and expensive to remediate the longer a colony has time to expand and thrive.
At V PEST CONTROL, we offer no-tent and tent solutions to deal with South Florida's most common and invasive termite species. We want to help our neighbors end their infestations and protect against any future infiltration by termites and other pests.
Why Sound the Alarm About Termites?
Florida is home to more than 20 diverse natural and invasive species of termite that live in subterranean, damp wood and drywood environments and primarily eat cellulose from plants and plant-based materials. Termites love our state because of indoor and outdoor climate variations that range from extremely high humidity and moisture to dry conditions.
Drywood termites typically cause the most indoor damage. These highly organized, social insects expand their territory rapidly on and through wood-based objects, including shrubs, trees, stairs, decks, porches, window frames, floors and furniture. Drywood termites weaken the integrity of wood so much that they cause it to collapse entirely, which can also collapse a structure.
What Are the Common Signs of a Termite Infestation?
Dead termites, discarded wings, winged termite-like bugs, waste pellets, and visible galleries and tunnels are the most obvious signs. Other signs include hollow-sounding and warped wood, bent or displaced materials attached to wood, and bubbled or buckled paint.
A property owner should also watch out for a sudden increase in predatory pests and other animals that eat termites. Ants, assassin bugs, beetles and spiders indoors might indicate a termite or other pest problem. Additional animals that might suddenly appear on a property in larger numbers because of termites include bats, bluebirds, frogs, lizards, moles and woodpeckers.
No-Tent vs. Tent Termite Solutions
V PEST CONTROL offers options that take into account the type of infestation and each specific customer's need for convenience. We want clients, our neighbors in South Florida, to have as positive an experience as possible based on their unique situation.
Our no-tent spot treatments typically provide the best coverage for small infestations. With spot treatment for termites in Miami, for example, a member of our team might target a wood beam or piece of furniture with a liquid, foam or other injectable termiticide. Clients dealing with small infestations see fantastic results with no-tent termite treatment in Miami. No-tent treatment is a fast, eco-friendly, no-odor solution that causes minimal disruption and provides a barrier against future entry.
Professional termite tenting in South Florida is necessary for large infestations. We recommend termite fumigation in Miami for widespread infestations in houses, apartment complexes, condominiums and businesses. Although a client must perform safety preparations and leave the property temporarily, their work is worth the effort. The fumigation gas reaches every nook and cranny. Wood materials also absorb the chemicals, which provides a lasting barrier.
