Termites under Tequesta’s tree canopy
River moisture, mature trees and damp, shaded soil make Tequesta a good environment for subterranean termites, which move from the soil into wood through cracks, expansion joints and plumbing penetrations. Wood piles, stumps and mulch against the foundation give them more cover.
Drywood termites live in roof framing, fascia, door frames and furniture, especially in older homes. Swarmers on a windowsill on a warm evening are a common first sign.
Older homes and wood additions
Some Tequesta homes have wood decks, porches or additions built over the years. Wood that touches the soil or stays damp is a common entry point for subterranean termites, and older wood additions can host drywood colonies. If you know where additions were built, mention it at booking so the technician can give those areas extra attention.
Inspection and treatment in Tequesta
Because shade keeps Tequesta soil damp, we spend extra time on the soil line, slab cracks and any wood in contact with the ground, along with fascia, door frames and the attic. We also check detached garages and sheds you list. After the inspection, we explain whether it looks like drywood or subterranean activity and which method fits. Fumigation is used for widespread drywood activity; subterranean termites are handled at the soil.

Termite Control in Tequesta FAQ
Do stumps and wood piles attract termites?
They can give subterranean termites food and cover close to the house. Keeping wood off the ground and away from the foundation helps.
Do you inspect detached garages and sheds?
Yes, when you list them at booking.
What should I do if I see swarmers?
Save a few in a bag or take a photo and call us.
Does mulch against the foundation attract termites?
Thick mulch that touches the wall holds moisture and hides tubes. Keeping it a few inches below the top of the foundation helps.
