We have seen a significant increase in termite inquiries across our service area over the past two weeks. Our technicians are finding higher activity levels compared to the same period last year, particularly in Lakeland, Lithia, Pinellas Park, and St Petersburg. With 84 inquiries recorded in the last 14 days, homeowners are noticing signs of these wood-destroying insects more frequently as the humid summer weather continues.
This uptick is common for Florida this time of year, as moisture and high temperatures create ideal conditions for various species. Homeowners should take a moment to inspect their properties for signs such as discarded wings or small piles of debris that resemble sawdust. Because these pests can be difficult to distinguish from other insects, reviewing how to differentiate termites from ants can help you identify a potential issue early.
To help protect your home, we recommend keeping mulch pulled back from your foundation and ensuring all gutters are clear to prevent water from pooling near the structure. It is also helpful to check for termite mud tubes along exterior walls or crawl spaces. If you are concerned about activity around your property, we are here to help.
