South Florida's year-round warmth and humidity create perfect conditions for termites. Hollywood and Broward County face threats from both subterranean and drywood species — and both require different treatment approaches.
Get Free InspectionFlorida leads the nation in termite damage, and South Florida is ground zero. Hollywood's location between the Everglades and the Atlantic creates a microclimate that termites love: 75%+ humidity, mild winters that never kill colonies, and abundant moisture from afternoon storms.
Unlike northern states where winters slow termite activity, Hollywood termites work year-round. That wood-framed addition or vintage Hollywood Lakes home? It's feeding termites 365 days a year without professional protection.
The most common species in Broward County. They build mud tubes from soil to wood, requiring ground contact. Found in homes from Hollywood Hills to Hallandale Beach. Liquid barrier treatments are most effective.
"Super termites" that cause more damage faster than any other species. They can build aerial nests without ground contact if moisture is available. Aggressive treatment required upon detection.
Unique to warm climates like South Florida. They live entirely inside wood — no soil contact needed. Often found in attic framing, window frames, and furniture. Require fumigation or localized treatment.
Less common but found in water-damaged wood. Florida's hurricane season and tropical moisture create ideal conditions. Often indicates a moisture problem that also needs addressing.
1. Comprehensive Inspection: We check your entire property — foundation, crawl spaces, attic, exterior wood, landscaping ties, and any wood-to-soil contact points. Hollywood homes built before 1990 get extra attention for conducive conditions.
2. Species Identification: Treatment depends on species. Subterranean termites need soil treatment; drywood termites need direct wood treatment or fumigation. We identify exactly what you're dealing with.
3. Customized Treatment Plan: Options include liquid barriers (Termidor), bait stations (Sentricon), spot treatments for drywood termites, or whole-structure fumigation for severe infestations.
4. Prevention & Monitoring: South Florida requires ongoing vigilance. We install monitoring stations and schedule annual inspections to catch new activity before damage occurs.
