Termite Control & Treatment
Subterranean and Drywood Termite Treatment
Pelican Pest and Fertilization provides termite control for two species found in Florida: subterranean and drywood termites. The main difference between them is the method of colonization. Subterranean termites develop colonies in the soil because of the moist environment. However, drywood termites don't require any water source and burrow into wood above ground level, which can result in heavy damage to a your home's structure. Drywood termites are also known to colonize in furniture, door and window frames, moldings, fences, utility posts and other locations.
Here are some other facts about termites that can indicate how quickly infestations can worsen:
- Termites never sleep, and consume cellulose 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- A queen termite is capable of producing over 1,000 eggs in a single day
- Termites and cockroaches descended from a common ancestor
- A single termite colony can number into the millions
