Florida's sunshine and warm weather aren't just for tourists – they're also a breeding ground for a silent enemy: subterranean termites. These aggressive pests can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home before you even know they're there. But fear not, fellow Floridians! Superior Spray Service is here to help you combat these destructive invaders. Formosan Termites: A Southeastern Termite Special In central Florida, where the climate provides an ideal habitat for termites to thrive, homeowners face a constant battle against these destructive pests. Formosan termites are particularly adept at infiltrating homes through tiny cracks and crevices. Unlike their subterranean cousins, Formosan termites are above-ground dwellers, building mud tubes that snake across foundations and walls. They're relentless eaters, capable of devouring everything from floorboards to furniture. Detecting a termite infestation early is crucial in preventing costly damage to your home. Signs of a Formosan termite infestation include: Mud tubes: Formosan termites construct distinctive mud tubes to enable them to travel and consume wood above ground. These telltale tubes on your foundation, exterior walls, and even inside the house are signs of a full-on infestation. Swarmers: These winged termites shed their wings after finding a new home. Keep an eye out for piles of discarded wings near windows and doors. Wood Damage: Tap suspected areas with a screwdriver. A hollow sound might indicate termite activity. Frass: Termite droppings, known as frass, accumulate near infested areas; keep an eye out for wood-colored droppings that resemble coarse sea salt.
