Protect Your Home with Expert Termite Control in South Florida
Termites are one of the most destructive pests in South Florida, causing thousands of dollars in damage before homeowners even realize there’s a problem. Whether it’s subterranean termites silently tunneling beneath your home or drywood termites hiding in the rafters, early detection and professional treatment are key. At Elite Inspections & Pest Solutions, we offer comprehensive termite solutions designed to eliminate existing infestations and protect your property from future damage.
We are the home of the always free termite inspection—whether you’re involved in a real estate transaction or simply curious about potential activity, we’re happy to take a look. No pressure, just answers.
Our licensed team provides a full range of termite control services, including liquid treatments for subterranean termites, D.A.T.s (Drywood Alternative Treatments) for spot infestations, full-home fumigations for advanced infestations, and The Sentricon® baiting system for ongoing protection. Each service is tailored to your home’s structure, infestation level, and long-term needs—because when it comes to termites, one size doesn’t fit all. Explore our treatment options below to find out how we can safeguard your investment with proven, industry-leading solutions.
Subterranean Termites: Silent Destroyers Beneath Your Home
Subterranean termites are the most aggressive and destructive termite species found in South Florida. Living in large underground colonies, they create intricate mud tubes to access food sources—often the wood in your home. These termites thrive in moist environments and can remain undetected for years, eating away at your structure from the inside out. The most common types in our region include Eastern Subterranean Termites and the highly invasive Formosan Termites, which form massive colonies and can cause extensive damage in a short amount of time.
Because they operate from below ground, subterranean termites can go unnoticed until significant structural damage has already occurred. Early detection and proactive treatment are essential to protect your home or business investment.
Termite Spray Treatments
A liquid termite spray treatment is one of the most proven and widely used methods for protecting structures against subterranean termites. Whether you’re building a new home or simply looking to prevent future infestations, this soil-applied barrier creates long-lasting protection by stopping termites before they can reach your structure.
We offer pre-construction treatments for builders and contractors that meet all code requirements in Florida. This application is performed during the construction phase—either before the slab is poured or around the perimeter of the foundation—to provide a protective barrier right from the start.
For existing homes, we also offer post-construction perimeter spray treatments. These are ideal for homeowners looking for general protection or a one-time preventative service. While not a substitute for bait systems or full inspections, a liquid spray can help deter termite activity and offer peace of mind when combined with regular monitoring.
The Sentricon® Termite Baiting System: Smart, Targeted Protection from the Inside Out
The Sentricon® System is a scientifically advanced and environmentally responsible solution for eliminating subterranean termite colonies—including the aggressive Formosan and Eastern Subterranean species. Rather than creating a chemical barrier like traditional sprays, Sentricon uses strategically placed bait stations around your property that intercept foraging termites in the area. Once termites feed on the bait and bring it back to the colony, it disrupts their growth cycle and leads to complete colony elimination, including the queen.
Sentricon is ideal for both residential and commercial properties and can be installed with minimal disruption to landscaping. It provides continuous protection through ongoing monitoring and replenishment by our trained professionals. Unlike spray treatments, Sentricon doesn’t degrade over time from rain or soil movement—making it a smart long-term solution for year-round termite defense. Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or want proactive protection, Sentricon delivers proven results with less impact on your home and the environment.

Drywood Termites: Hidden Threats in Your Home’s Structure
Unlike their subterranean cousins, drywood termites don’t need contact with the soil to survive. These pests live directly inside the wood they consume—be it attic rafters, door frames, furniture, or even picture frames—making them a particularly sneaky threat to South Florida homes. They extract moisture from the wood itself and can thrive in dry, warm conditions, which makes our climate a perfect environment for infestation.
Drywood termite colonies are smaller than subterranean ones, but they often go unnoticed for years, silently hollowing out structural wood from the inside. One telltale sign is the appearance of small piles of “frass,” or droppings, which look like fine wood pellets. Because they don’t rely on ground contact, drywood termites can spread from room to room or structure to structure through infested furniture or untreated wood, making early detection and proper treatment essential to prevent extensive damage.
D.A.T. (Drywood Alternative Treatment)
For localized or early-stage drywood termite infestations, our Drywood Alternative Treatment (D.A.T.) offers a non-invasive solution without the need to vacate your home. This spot-treatment method targets specific areas where termite activity has been detected, using advanced products designed to penetrate the wood and eliminate the colony from within. D.A.T. is ideal for situations where full fumigation isn’t necessary or practical—such as isolated infestations in attics, trim, or furniture. While not suitable for large or widespread infestations, D.A.T. is a convenient, effective option for treating drywood termites with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Whole-Home Fumigation
When drywood termite infestations are extensive or located in hard-to-reach areas, whole-home fumigation is often the most effective treatment option. This method involves enclosing the structure in a tent and introducing a specialized gas that penetrates deep into the wood, eliminating termites throughout the entire home—including those hidden in walls, beams, and furniture.
In addition to targeting drywood termites, fumigation is also highly effective against other wood-destroying insects such as old house borers and powderpost beetles, which can cause similar structural damage if left untreated.
We coordinate the entire process for you—from scheduling and preparation to ensuring the treatment is carried out professionally and efficiently. To make things easier, we provide a step-by-step Fumigation Preparation Video & Fumigation Preparation Checklist so you’ll know exactly what to expect and how to get your home ready for treatment.

Joshua is the best and he always follows through for you on your yard issues.
Elite Inspections is wonderful to work with, and knows how to take care of ProVista grass. Many companies say they do but really don’t know. I highly recommend Elite, and our technician Joshua is absolutely amazing.
We are new to the Port Charlotte area. Our realtor recommended Elite Inspections and Pest Solutions for our property inspection. We were very satisfied with the inspection results and decided to continue with pest control services. That was a good decision. Bruce did the initial treatment and was very thorough and professional. Within a few days we saw ghost ants and immediately called Elite for service. They responded immediately.
Bruce came early the next morning before his already scheduled day and treated the house and surrounding area. We could not be happier with Elite and Bruce’s excellent care of our property.

Right from the start everything went smoothly. Arranging the inspection was Tracy was so easy and she was so informative. When Nick and Marty came to complete the inspections, they were professional, well informed and answered each of our questions with patience and detail. They were extremely prompt in completing the very comprehensive inspection report – we received it later the same day! We couldn't have asked for a better team and we feel confident in their thorough review.
