Protect Your Investment Against All Termites

The Hidden Threat: Protecting Your South Florida Home from Drywood and Subterranean Termites

South Florida's warm, humid climate may be paradise for us—but it's also the perfect breeding ground for termites. At Radix Pest Solutions, we’ve helped homeowners across Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Coral Springs, Margate, Lighthouse Point, Oakland Park, and surrounding cities deal with the devastating effects of termite infestations. The two most common types we encounter are drywood termites and subterranean termites—both capable of silently destroying the wood structures in your home.

Drywood Termites: The Silent Destroyers

Drywood termites live inside the wood they consume. Unlike their subterranean cousins, they don’t require contact with soil, which means they can be found in furniture, wooden beams, attic trusses, and even window frames. Often, homeowners don’t realize they have a problem until the damage is severe. Common signs include discarded wings, frass (termite droppings), and hollow-sounding wood.

Subterranean Termites: Aggressive and Invasive

Subterranean termites are even more destructive. They live underground in massive colonies and travel through mud tubes to invade your home. They feed on wood 24/7 and can cause structural damage faster than most homeowners realize. If you spot mud tubes along your foundation or walls, or notice soft, damaged wood, it’s time to act fast.

Radix Pest Solutions: Advanced Treatments That Work

At Radix Pest Solutions, we offer advanced treatment options tailored to the severity and type of infestation. For drywood termites, we provide two highly effective solutions:

• Heat Treatment – A non-chemical method that raises the temperature in the infested area to levels lethal to termites. It’s clean, eco-friendly, and ideal for localized infestations.

• Tenting and Fumigation – For more widespread drywood termite problems, whole-structure tenting ensures that every hidden colony is eradicated. Our experienced team makes the process smooth and effective.

For subterranean termites, we offer proven treatments such as soil-applied termiticides, baiting systems, and barrier protection to stop colonies in their tracks and prevent re-entry.

Protect Your Investment

Don’t wait until you see the damage—by then, it could already cost thousands in repairs. Regular inspections and proactive treatments are key to protecting your home in termite-prone areas like Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Tamarac, Lauderhill, and Coconut Creek.
