Termite Control
Residential Termite Control
Termites are one of the most destructive pests that can make their way into your home, causing over 5 billion dollars each year in damages. Most homeowners only realize they have a termite problem once substantial damage has already been done to their home. Let B&B Exterminating send a state certified inspector to your home and perform a detailed inspection for current termite activity or potential conducive conditions.
Having a termite treatment done on your home can save you lots of expense later. The number of termites found in a colony could be in the millions, causing major damage. Homeowner’s insurance does not cover these repairs, that is why it is important to act now. Our termite treatments come with a warranty that is renewed annually. These warranties are very beneficial when buying and selling a home and are transferrable.

Commercial Termite Control
You only get one chance at a first impression with a client or an employee. Termite damage can be unsightly, along with causing major structural issues. If you think you may have a problem with termites, it is important you take steps to handle them as soon as possible. A termite infestation can cost your business thousands of dollars in many different ways if it is not caught early enough. Not only the cost of repairs, but lost productivity, staff morale, along with structural damage to your property. Termites get into your business anyway they can, using cracks, holes, windows, doors, and other small crevices they can sneak through. They travel on the ground, but termites can fly through windows. Termites live in your walls and build tunnels, feeding on wooden walls, floors and support beams they find.
If you notice small holes, saw dust, or hollow sounds from your walls or beams you may have a termite infestation in your business. Make sure to call a Commercial termite control company for a termite inspection so you can stop the infestation before it’s too late.
Our commercial termite control uses Termidor, the number one termite treatment on the market today. Termidor eliminates termites by both ingestion and contact, protecting your business from pest infestations. If your business is suffering from a termite infestation, we can help!

B&B Termite Treatments
Liquid Termite Treatment – Subterranean termite infestations can be treated several ways. Soil treatments are the most common. This involves treating soil around the perimeter of the affected home or buildings. For maximum effectiveness, we treat using the #1 rated Termidor to get under foundations, concrete slabs and patios to reach colonies in these otherwise inaccessible locations. Termidor HP treatments require no drilling and no trenching, in most cases.
Baiting Treatment – B & B also offers Trelona ATBS Annual Baiting Stations, self-contained bait stations that are installed below the ground. These systems contain products that prevent the termites from molting and continuing their lifecycle. As workers consume the bait and die, the colony gradually collapses.
Once your home or office has been treated and a warranty has been placed on the structure, our highly trained Pest Management Professionals will monitor your home or office annually to make sure you stay protected. Our team will inspect for any evidence of current activity and look for conducive areas, drainage problems or leaks that could potentially attract termites. Our inspections are beneficial to lower the chance of recurrences. If you suspect that termites are eating you out of house and home, contact us at (904) 389-3323 for a free inspection.
WDO Inspections available for Clients with an active/up to date Termite Warranty with B&B
While a home inspection can answer necessary questions concerning mechanical and structural integrity, the majority of home inspectors are not trained or licensed to provide subterranean termite inspections. It takes special training and expertise to provide this type of inspection and assessment. Only structural pest control companies can perform the work necessary to secure an official WDO Report.
A Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection Report is a written report of an inspection (performed by a certified pest control firm) on a structure for visible and accessible evidence of an infestation or damage by wood destroying organisms. A WDO report is commonly called a “Termite Inspection”. The report also contains evidence of any previous treatment for termites or other wood destroying organisms. We offer these WDO inspection reports to our ACTIVE, current customers, on homes/properties which have a current and up to date termite warranty with B&B.

Florida is home to many termites. The most common are Subterranean Termites, Drywood Termites, Formosan Termites, and the new Conehead Termites.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites live in and feed off dry wood. Their moisture comes from air humidity and the wood they eat. They can enter your home by swarming from nearby structures or you can unknowingly bring them into your home. This is why it is important to inspect items such as furniture, cabinets, wood, and hardwood floors before bringing them into your home. Common entry points for swarming termites would be through the wood joints under your eaves, crawlspaces, attics, doorframes, cracks around windows, or cracks or knots in wood siding. There are fewer Drywood termites in a colony, but they are larger in size compared to Subterranean Termites and they do not create mud tubes or need to come in contact with soil to live.
If you’re not sure which type of termites you possibly have, contact B&B Exterminating to perform a free inspection. Don’t let termites cost you thousands of dollars in structural damage.
Eastern Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are formidable pests that are difficult to treat and control. They develop massive underground colonies that spread like wildfire, leaving behind billions of dollars’ worth of structural damage each year. Reproductive termites swarm in the spring, and workers stay busy constructing mud tubes that direct millions of cellulose-eating bugs to new food sources, including your home. Experts estimate that these bugs damage more homes than all natural disasters combined.
Unfortunately, most homeowners don't realize that they have a termite problem until the bugs swarm. Warm indoor temperatures excite termites and can even cause them to swarm in the winter. Because many termite infestations go unnoticed, it's important to have regular inspections. Our licensed termite and structural pest experts have the knowledge, tools, and appropriate insecticides to treat the problem.
Formosan Termites
Formosan termites are a very aggressive and invasive subterranean termite that causes significant damage. The larger colony sizes and aggressive forging behaviors make them much more destructive than the native U.S. subterranean termite. Formosans can chew through non-wood materials like pipes but feed on anything wood-based. They require moisture to live and are known for travelling above ground. Their nests are built in the walls of structures and beneath trees. They have been found in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, Arizona, California, and Hawaii but continue to spread.
In springtime, be on the lookout for Formosan termites. They will leave their nests and swarm to make new colonies. The swarmers are attracted to light and typically swarm in the evenings between April to July.
Call B & B Exterminating Company today and let us tell you how we treat for Formosan Termites.
