Pest Control Solutions for Termites in Florida
Termites are a very common Jacksonville FL pest problem. Florida termite species include subterranean and drywood species. What makes termites so dreaded is the fact that termite infestations can go years without being detected. Our termite removal experts have a unique knowledge of these wood-destroying pests and have the tools to locate infested areas. Bug Out is proud to employ the pest control industry’s best methods to treat termites, including liquid treatments and bait stations.
Termiticides, Residual Insecticides & Soil Treatments
A chemical barrier treatment involves applying liquid chemicals to the soil beneath and around the perimeter of your property’s foundation. This forms a chemical barrier in the soil, reducing the risk of concealed termites entering the building.
Termite Baiting Systems
Designed to tackle subterranean termite colonies, termite baiting stations exploit termite biology and behavior. Worker termites take the bait and carry it back to the nest, eliminating termites at the source.

Bug Out Reviews
Have used this pest control service for several years. Very rarely have an insect problem, but when I do, Bug Out comes immediately and addresses the issue! They have helped with ground wasps, pantry moths, sink flies, pantry moths, field mice, and roaches as needed over several years. As my regular ongoing service, they are also great. Highly recommend.

Signs You Have a Termite Infestation
Regular termite inspections are the best way to keep termites at bay, but in the meantime, look out for these telltale signs of a termite infestation. Common indicators include:
- Live swarming termites or their discarded wings, often found near windows and doors.
- Mud tubes on exterior walls or foundations, used by subterranean termites to travel between their colony and food sources.
- Wood damage: wood that sounds hollow when tapped, or blistering and darkening of wood structures.
- Small piles of frass (termite droppings), indicating drywood termite activity.
- Bubbling or uneven paint, which may suggest termites tunneling underneath.
Termite Control FAQs
In Florida, termite swarming typically occurs from early spring through the summer months, with the timing depending on the specific species and environmental conditions. Subterranean species, like the Formosan termite, often swarm at night after rain. Drywood termites, on the other hand, tend to swarm during the day, especially in late spring to early summer.
During the swarming season, mature termite colonies produce winged reproductive termites, known as alates, which leave their nests in large numbers to mate and establish new colonies. Homeowners should be vigilant during these months as swarming termites can be a sign of an established colony nearby. Taking preventive measures and seeking professional pest control services can help manage and mitigate the risks associated with termite infestations.
The warm, humid climate of Florida creates an ideal environment for termites, particularly subterranean species like the Formosan and Asian subterranean termites.
Termites in Florida are active year-round, with peak activity often observed in the warmer months from March through November. Subterranean termites, which build their nests in the soil, are especially prevalent, causing significant structural damage to homes and buildings by feeding on wood. Drywood termites, which infest dry wood, are also widespread and can enter homes through infested furniture or wooden structures.
Preventative treatment will protect your property. A chemical termite barrier uses liquid termiticides to form a barrier around your property’s perimeter and foundation, killing and repelling termites.
Professional treatments include liquid termiticides, which create a barrier around the home, and bait systems that attract and eliminate termites. For drywood termites, fumigation might be necessary. In some cases, fumigation might be necessary to eliminate drywood termites.
