Termite Treatment & Protection in Miami-Dade & Broward County
South Florida deals with termite species most of the country never encounters, and colonies here stay active all twelve months of the year.
South Florida Pest Solutions holds the FDACS Termite & Other Wood-Destroying Organism Control license category. Treatment approach depends on the species, the structure, the extent of the infestation, and what the inspection finds. There is no single termite treatment that fits every property, and any company quoting you one before looking at the structure isn't inspecting, it's selling.
Free inspection. Written quote before any work.

Not every method is appropriate for every property. The inspection determines what is.
Know Your Species – It Determines the Treatment
West Indian drywood termite. Swarms from April. Infests dry wood directly with no soil contact required: attics, framing, trim, and furniture. The classic sign is frass, small hard pellets that look like coarse sawdust or coffee grounds, often in small piles beneath a kick-out hole.
Asian subterranean termite. Swarms from early March, at dusk. Aggressive and well established in South Florida. Requires soil contact and builds mud tubes along foundations, piers, and walls.
Formosan subterranean termite. Swarms from late April into May. Forms very large colonies and represents significant structural risk.
The key point most people get backwards: colonies are active year-round. The late February through June window, most visible March through June, is when they swarm, not when they become active. Seeing swarmers means a mature colony is already established nearby, often for years.
Highest-alert moments: warm evenings after rain, at dusk, near exterior lights.
Signs of Termite Activity
- Swarmers, or discarded wings collecting on windowsills and in spider webs
- Frass, pellet piles resembling coffee grounds or sawdust (drywood)
- Mud tubes on foundation walls, piers, or interior walls (subterranean)
- Hollow-sounding, blistered, or rippled wood
- Small round kick-out holes in wood surfaces
- Sagging trim, sticking doors and windows, or pinholed baseboards
- Damaged wood that crumbles under light pressure
What Localized Treatment Covers
A localized drywood treatment addresses the specific areas identified as active during inspection. It is not a whole-structure treatment. Drywood colonies may exist in concealed or untreated areas that a localized treatment does not reach, and the written agreement states exactly which areas are treated and warranted.
When a localized treatment is performed, a notice is posted at the structure as required by section 482.226(5), Florida Statutes, stating that a spot treatment was performed.
New Construction Soil Pre-Treatments
We perform soil pre-treatments for new construction, with the certificate documentation builders and inspectors require. Contact us early in the build schedule, since pre-treatment timing is tied to specific construction phases.
Termite Bait Systems
Vincent Parmer Jr. is a certified termite bait system installer. Monitored bait stations provide ongoing subterranean termite monitoring and colony management, serviced according to the product label and your written agreement. We'll advise at inspection whether a bait system fits your property.
Our Limited Termite Warranty
Drywood termite localized treatments include a limited retreatment warranty covering the treated area for 12 months from the date of treatment. If live drywood termite activity reappears in the treated area during the warranty period, we return and retreat at no additional charge for labor or materials.
Renewable annually. Annual renewal includes a reinspection with a signed written report and continued retreatment coverage on the treated area. Renewal is due on or before each anniversary of the treatment date; if the renewal fee is not received within 30 days of that date, coverage terminates automatically.
What this warranty covers:
- Covered: retreatment of the specific area treated, at no charge for labor or materials, if live drywood activity reappears
- Not covered: repair or replacement of any damage caused by drywood termites, whether the damage occurred before or after treatment
- Not covered: areas of the structure outside the treated area
- Excluded organisms: subterranean termites of all species including Formosan and Asian, conehead termites, wood-boring beetles, wood-decay fungi, carpenter ants, and carpenter bees
During the warranty period we will inspect the premises at your request or whenever we determine an inspection is necessary. Your rights are not prejudiced by failure to request an inspection.
Warranty terms are not transferable without our prior written consent. Full terms, conditions, exclusions, and renewal requirements are set out in your written service agreement, which states the warranty status on page one. Florida law gives you three business days to cancel.
Our Process
1. Free Inspection. We identify the species, locate active areas, assess the extent, and document conducive conditions.
2. Species and Extent Determination. What you have and how far it's gone determines every decision that follows.
3. Written Recommendation With Options. Where more than one approach is viable, you get both, with honest trade-offs, not a push toward the more expensive one.
4. Treatment. Licensed application, with the required notice posted for spot treatments.
5. Documentation and Follow-Up. Written agreement, warranty terms, and reinspection at renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which treatment I need? The inspection determines it. Species, location, extent, accessibility, and structure type all factor in. We'll explain what we found and what each option realistically accomplishes.
Do I have to move out for a localized treatment? No. Occupants do not vacate for drywood localized treatment.
What are the limits of a no-tent treatment? Localized treatment addresses identified, accessible areas of activity, and that is what the warranty covers. Whole-structure fumigation is the only method that reaches all wood in a structure. South Florida Pest Solutions does not hold the Fumigation category and does not perform fumigation; that work is performed by companies separately licensed in that category. If your infestation is widespread or likely concealed, we will tell you that a localized treatment is the wrong choice.
I saw swarmers. Does that mean I have termites? It means a mature colony is established somewhere nearby, since swarmers are produced by colonies that have been developing for years. Whether it's in your structure requires inspection. Save a few of the insects or wings if you can, because identification helps.
Do you provide documentation for my lender, HOA, or closing? Yes. We provide written agreements and treatment documentation, and we perform WDO inspections with reports delivered within 48 hours.
How much does termite treatment cost? It depends on species, structure size, and the extent of treatment required, which is why we inspect before quoting. Inspections are free and you get a written quote before anything is scheduled.
