The right treatment starts with identification
Termite control for Jacksonville homes
Found something suspicious? Get the species and extent of activity checked before choosing a treatment. Different termites need different solutions.
Subterranean termite treatment
Soil treatments and bait systems address termites that travel between the ground and your home. Ask how the plan covers entry points and ongoing monitoring.
Drywood termite treatment
Drywood termites live inside wood. Depending on the extent of activity, a professional may recommend localized treatment or whole-structure fumigation.
Termite prevention & monitoring
Reduce moisture, keep stored wood away from the house, and arrange periodic inspections. Ask what follow-up visits and renewal costs your plan includes.
Treatment reference: UF/IFAS Extension’s termite prevention and control guide.
What to look for
Signs it’s time for a termite inspection
- Mud tubes: narrow earthen tunnels on foundations or crawl-space surfaces.
- Discarded wings: clusters near windows, doors, or lights after a swarm.
- Wood damage: hollow areas, blistered surfaces, or exposed galleries.
- Dry pellets: small droppings below wood can indicate drywood termites.
These clues warrant a closer look. A professional inspection helps distinguish termite activity from other wood damage.

Termite treatment questions
Costs, treatment options, and what to expect before you book.
How much does termite treatment cost in Jacksonville?
A useful quote requires an inspection. Price depends on the termite species, building size, access, extent of activity, and treatment method. Ask for initial treatment and annual renewal costs separately, plus any exclusions for damage repairs.
Are bait stations or liquid treatments better?
Both are options for subterranean termites. The choice depends on the structure, site conditions, and monitoring plan. Neither is a substitute for identifying the species; a soil treatment does not solve a drywood termite infestation.
Does termite treatment always require tenting?
No. Fumigation may be recommended for widespread drywood termite activity. Subterranean termite problems generally require a different approach, such as soil treatment or baiting. An inspection determines the appropriate method.
What should I do if I find wings or mud tubes?
Photograph the evidence and note its location. Keep any collected insects for identification and avoid covering up or disturbing the affected area before an inspection. Wings alone do not establish how extensive a problem is.
What is a termite bond?
It is a service agreement with a pest control company. Coverage varies: some agreements include retreatment, while others may include specified damage repairs. Read the exclusions, inspection requirements, renewal fees, and transfer terms before signing.
Can I request an inspection for a home purchase?
Yes—mention the real estate transaction and your deadline when contacting a provider. Ask specifically whether they offer the wood-destroying organism (WDO) inspection report required for your transaction; a treatment estimate is not the same report.
