Why older island homes need regular termite checks

Many Palm Beach homes have decades-old wood in roof framing, pecky cypress ceilings, door and window frames, built-in cabinetry and antique furniture. Drywood termites live inside that wood and leave small pellets and swarmers on warm evenings. Coastal humidity keeps them active for much of the year.

Subterranean termites come from the soil. Irrigated gardens, fountains and planters against the foundation keep the soil damp. Mud tubes on stucco, foundation walls and plumbing are a sign to call.

Planning termite work around the season

The island’s busiest months shape when termite work is easiest to schedule. Inspections can happen any time, but if the inspection finds a problem that calls for tent fumigation, planning around the household’s travel, events and staff schedules matters. Many owners prefer to handle structural treatment while the home is closed. We explain the timeline and preparation steps early so there are no surprises for the family or the staff.

Inspection, treatment and planning

The complimentary inspection covers the main house and any guest house, cabana or garage you list. We explain what we found and which treatment fits. When tent fumigation is the right method for a historic or furnished home, we walk through preparation, timing and the household’s plans well ahead of any date.

Condominium buildings usually need the association to decide on structural treatment. We can inspect a unit and give you a recommendation to bring to the board.

Termite Control in Palm Beach FAQ

Can termites damage antique furniture?

Yes. Drywood termites can live in wooden furniture as well as the structure. Tell us if you have seen pellets near a piece so we can include it in the inspection.

Do you inspect guest houses and cabanas?

Yes, when you list them at booking. Each structure is checked separately.

How is fumigation planned for a furnished home?

We explain the preparation list, timing and what needs to leave the house well before a date is set, and we coordinate with the household or estate manager.

Do you provide reports for real-estate closings?

No. We provide a pest-control inspection and a treatment recommendation, not reports for closings.

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.
