PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM TERMITES Termites love Southwest Florida. Our climate in Fort Myers provides an ideal environment for termites to live. There are an estimated 4000 species of termites worldwide. Termites are insects that feed on dead plant material. They cause structural damage to buildings, crops and forests. Termites are grouped according to their feeding behavior. In Florida we are concerned with the following termites: Drywood termites do not live in the soil. They build their colonies in dry wood and do not need moisture or soil. They cause damage slower than subterranean termites.
Subterranean termites build their colonies in the soil. Formosan termites are the most destructive of the subterranean termites. Formosan termites are sometimes called Super Termites because of their insatiable wood eating habits. Formosan termites have been found in Cape Coral and Bonita Springs, Florida. Mature Formosan colonies can eat 13 ounces of wood a day, causing severe structural damage in months. Termites can use Shelter Tubes to enter your house. Closely inspect the foundation of your Lee County home to Ants & Bugs Pest Control is certified to provide Termidor treatments. Active and Preventative Treatments for wood destroying termites are available.
