Drywood Termite Control & Treatment Experts in Florida
Drywood termites are one of the most destructive termite species affecting homes throughout Florida. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live entirely inside wooden structures and do not require contact with soil to survive. Because drywood termites live inside wood, infestations often remain hidden inside walls, attics, and structural framing for long periods of time before homeowners notice visible signs of damage.
My Son & I Pest Control provides professional drywood termite inspections and treatment services designed to identify infestations and eliminate termite colonies before they cause extensive structural damage. Our technicians help homeowners protect their properties throughout South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Central Florida.
UNDERSTANDING DRYWOOD TERMITES
Drywood termites live and reproduce inside dry wooden structures such as framing, flooring, furniture, and trim. Unlike subterranean termites, they do not build mud tubes or rely on soil contact to survive.
These termites are commonly found in areas such as attic framing, wooden beams, wall voids, hardwood flooring, furniture and structural wood.
Because drywood termites live entirely inside wood, infestations often go undetected until damage becomes visible. Over time, these termites create tunnels inside the wood as they feed, weakening the structure of the building.
Signs of Drywood Termite Infestation
Drywood termite infestations often remain hidden until homeowners notice visible signs of activity. Identifying these signs early can help prevent more extensive structural damage.
Common signs of drywood termite activity include:
✔ Termite droppings (frass) near wood surfaces
✔ Discarded termite wings near windows or doors
✔ Small holes in wood structures
✔ Hollow or weakened wood
✔ Swarming termites inside the home
If you notice any of these warning signs, a professional termite inspection can help confirm whether drywood termites are present.

Comprehensive
Inspection
We conduct a detailed inspection of your property to identify drywood termite activity and locate areas where infestations may be present. Our technicians inspect key areas such as attics, wooden framing, trim, and other exposed wood surfaces to determine the extent of termite activity.
Customized Treatment Plan
After the inspection, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific termite problem. Depending on the location and severity of the infestation, we may recommend localized wood treatments or whole-structure termite fumigation.
Treatment Application
Our technicians apply targeted treatments designed to eliminate drywood termite colonies within affected wood structures. Treatments may include localized wood treatments or professional structural fumigation when infestations have spread throughout the structure.
Monitoring and Prevention
After treatment, we provide recommendations to help prevent drywood termites from returning. Preventative steps may include regular termite inspections, sealing entry points, and protecting exposed wood surfaces.

Types of Termites We Treat
Florida is home to several termite species capable of causing serious structural damage to homes and businesses. Because each species behaves differently, identifying the type of termite involved is an important step in determining the most effective treatment approach.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites live entirely inside wooden structures and are one of the most destructive termite species affecting Florida homes. Whole-structure termite tenting and fumigation is often the most effective treatment for eliminating drywood termite infestations.
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites live in underground colonies and build mud tubes to reach wooden structures. These termites require moisture to survive and commonly attack foundations and structural framing.
Formosan Termites
Formosan termites are one of the most aggressive termite species and can cause severe structural damage in a relatively short period of time due to their large colony sizes.
Dampwood Termites
Dampwood termites prefer moist or decaying wood and are typically found in areas with water damage or high moisture levels.

Drywood termites can enter homes through exposed wood, attic vents, rooflines, or small cracks around windows and doors. Swarming termites can also establish new colonies inside wooden structures.
Drywood termites feed on wood from the inside out, creating tunnels that weaken structural framing, flooring, and wooden supports over time.
Common signs include termite droppings (frass), discarded wings near windows or doors, small holes in wood surfaces, and hollow or damaged wood.
New termite colonies can develop over time, which is why regular termite inspections and preventative treatments are recommended to help protect your home.
