Frequently asked questions
Do I need to tent my Doral home for termites?
Not always. Tent fumigation is one option for widespread drywood termite activity, and a separate version is used for Formosan termites. Localized drywood activity can sometimes be handled with spot treatment or a bond. Subterranean colonies can be addressed with a baiting system, and Formosan termites can also be treated with liquid treatment.
How much does a termite inspection cost in Doral?
A standard termite inspection is free and comes with a written quote. An official WDO report for a home sale or closing is a separate paid service, quoted individually.
What is the difference between drywood and subterranean termites?
Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood they eat and need no contact with soil. Native subterranean termites depend on soil, and Formosan subterranean termites are treated with their own methods. Drywood termites are treated with bonds, spot treatment or drywood fumigation. Subterranean termites are treated with a baiting system, and Formosan termites also have liquid treatment and Formosan fumigation options.
Does Formosan fumigation come with a warranty?
No. Formosan fumigation is a one-time treatment sold with no warranty and no included retreatment. For ongoing coverage against Formosan termites, you can choose liquid treatment or a baiting system, each under its own agreement.
Does a termite warranty cover wood damage?
No. None of our termite agreements covers repairing or replacing damaged wood. Depending on the service, coverage is limited to retreatment, further liquid treatment, or monitoring and servicing of bait stations, as described in your written agreement.
