Commercial Termite Control and Treatment in Palm Beach County

Home › Commercial › Termites

Commercial termite control protects offices, retail centers, schools, hotels, healthcare facilities and industrial buildings from drywood and subterranean termites. We inspect the structure to identify the species and the extent of activity, recommend the treatment that fits the building and its occupants (Liquid Subterranean Termite Treatment, the Termite Baiting System with BASF Trelona, or Tent Fumigation for drywood termites), and document the findings for owners, managers and tenants.

Commercial buildings in Palm Beach County face the same four problem termites as homes: drywood, Asian subterranean, Formosan subterranean and native subterranean. The difference is scale and coordination. A treatment plan has to work around tenants, patients, students or guests, and it often needs sign-off from an owner, a property manager or a facilities director.

Where termites show up in commercial properties

  • Wood trim, door frames and millwork in offices, retail stores and hotel rooms.
  • Roof framing, soffits and wood-frame additions on older buildings.
  • Expansion joints and slab cracks where subterranean termites enter from the soil.
  • Wood pallets, crates and stored materials in warehouses and industrial spaces.
  • Portable classrooms and wood structures on school campuses.

How we handle termites in commercial buildings

Inspection and identification

We inspect accessible areas, identify the termite and map the activity so you know the scope before any decision.

Choosing a treatment

The right treatment depends on the termite and where it is:

  • Liquid Subterranean Termite Treatment: a liquid soil treatment around the foundation and soil entry points to stop subterranean termites coming up from the ground.
  • Termite Baiting System (BASF Trelona): bait stations installed in the ground around the building, with annual monitoring and renewal.
  • Tent Fumigation: for drywood termites inside the structure. See commercial tent fumigation.

We explain each option in terms of disruption, coverage and timeline.

Coordinating with occupants

We schedule work around business hours, classes or guest occupancy and give managers notice to share with tenants and staff.

Documentation

You get written inspection findings and a service report for each treatment. With the Termite Baiting System, annual monitoring visits are documented too.

Commercial termite FAQ

Can you treat termites without closing the business?

Often yes. Liquid Subterranean Termite Treatment and the Termite Baiting System work mainly around the outside of the building, with little disruption. Tent Fumigation requires the building to be vacated for a period.

Who should we call first if staff find wings?

Call us at (561) 725-5274 for an inspection. Wings can come from termites or swarming ants, and the treatment depends on which it is.

Do you work with property managers on termite issues?

Yes. Associations and managers can see termite programs for HOAs and property managers.

Do you treat homes too?

Yes. Homeowners can see termite inspection and treatment for homes.

We discovered a beehive in our backyard. We were referred to this company we called. They responded and came out immediately and remediated the issue. Would recommend them to anyone they are reasonable. They are attentive to their customers and responsive and also reasonable with price.

I had a great experience with Q&L! I was having issues with spiders at my home, I called Q&L and they were there the next day. They’re very knowledgeable and did a very thorough inspection of the house to make sure they were getting to the root of the problem. I will continue to use them and would recommend them to anyone!

John was super professional and on-time, which is hard to come by for pest management services. We were worried our house was going to fall over based on a previous inspection, but after speaking with John during his initial consultation he assured us he could handle the task at hand. He was incredibly professional and focused on the entomology instead of being overly sales-pitchy. Highly recommend!

I have used Q and L for over a year now. They provide quality service with little to no hassle. They show up on time and have made a few “emergency” trips day of it next day when we have had issues beyond our normal monthly maintenance service. I cannot recommend them enough.
