Termites in Clearwater

Clearwater has some of the highest termite pressure in Pinellas County. The coastal location, older housing stock, and humidity levels create near-ideal conditions for both subterranean and drywood termite activity. If you own a home or commercial property in Clearwater and haven’t had a termite inspection in a while, it’s worth scheduling one before damage is the reason you call.

Two Species, Two Problems

Subterranean termites live in the soil and enter structures from below, through the foundation, concrete joints, and mud tubes they build to travel above ground. They form large colonies and can cause serious structural damage quickly. Eastern subterranean termites are the most common and most destructive species in Florida.

Drywood termites don’t need soil contact. They live inside the wood they eat, spread slowly, and are often not found until they’ve established in multiple areas of a structure. They’re common in Clearwater’s older neighborhoods where untreated wood has been in place for decades.

Treatment Options in Clearwater

• Liquid soil treatments: foundation perimeter barrier for subterranean termites
• Termite bait systems: in-ground stations that intercept and eliminate subterranean colonies over time
• Spot treatments: for localized drywood termite activity
• Fumigation: for drywood infestations that have spread through the structure, see residential fumigation
