Termite Exterminator

These small creatures often go unnoticed but are capable of causing substantial damage to properties. Particularly in Lake City, they are a significant threat due to their widespread presence.


Each year, they cause an estimated $5 billion in property damage in the U.S., highlighting the immense destruction these tiny pests can wreak. They form vast colonies and consume wood, thereby posing a serious risk to the structural integrity of buildings, especially in an area like Lake City with its favorable termite conditions.


Lake City is home to various termite species, with Subterranean and Drywood termites being the most common. Subterranean termites favor moist environments, typically forming colonies in the soil, whereas Drywood termites directly infest dry wooden structures. These species, along with others, derive their nourishment from cellulose and fiber found in wood, making them potentially harmful to any wooden structures including foundations, beams, and furniture.


However, the damage caused by termites is not limited to properties. They can pose health risks and cause discomfort for inhabitants. Termite droppings and the dust they generate can lead to allergies and even trigger asthma attacks. Additionally, the dampness that termite activities can cause may promote mold growth, leading to further health concerns.


To tackle these problems, we offer a comprehensive range of services. If you observe any signs of termite infestation, such as mud tubes on walls, hollow sounding timber, or discarded wings, it is imperative to contact professionals immediately.

Based on this, we formulate a treatment plan tailored to your needs, using Termidor, a product renowned for its effectiveness in termite treatment and control.
