Termite Treatment in Lighthouse Point Starts With Knowing Which Termite You Have

If you’re looking for termite treatment in Lighthouse Point, the first question is which termite is in the house. Florida homes can have drywood termites living inside the wood, subterranean termites coming up from the soil, or Formosan termites, an aggressive subterranean species. Each one needs a different approach. A treatment built for one species can miss another completely.

On Demand Pest Control starts every job with a free inspection. Our inspector checks the accessible areas of your home, identifies the termite type, and gives you written options. From there you choose among the termite treatment methods that fit your species: a drywood termite bond, spot treatment, whole-house tent fumigation, a Formosan liquid soil treatment, or a termite baiting system for subterranean colonies. Each option has its own contract and prep steps. Coverage also depends on the method. Some include a limited warranty term, and Formosan fumigation is sold with no warranty at all. Before any work is scheduled, you’ll know which method fits your home and why.

Maybe you found small piles of pellets under a window sill. Maybe you saw a swarm of winged insects near a light after dark, or thin mud tubes on your foundation. In each case the goal is the same: a clear answer on what you’re dealing with and a plan you understand.

Signs of Drywood and Subterranean Termite Activity

Each termite group leaves different clues, and those clues help the inspector choose a method. Drywood termite colonies live inside wood. The usual signs are small piles of pellets pushed out of tiny holes, plus blistered or hollow-sounding trim, window frames, or furniture. Subterranean termites, including Formosan termites, typically work up from the soil, so look for pencil-width mud tubes on the foundation, slab edges, or walls. After a swarm, you may find piles of shed wings near windows, doors, and light fixtures. If you spot any of these, leave the area alone until the inspection so the evidence stays intact.

When Do Termites Swarm in Lighthouse Point? A Species-by-Species Calendar

Termites feed all year in Florida, but most homeowners notice them during swarms. That’s when winged reproductives called alates leave a mature colony to start new ones. Each species keeps its own calendar, so no single “termite season” covers them all.

  • Formosan subterranean termites: In Florida they typically swarm between early April and late June, shortly after sunset, with peak activity in May. Swarms can include tens of thousands of insects. If a structure is infested, the swarm can happen indoors.
  • West Indian drywood termites: This species makes mating flights from April to June, though flights are possible any time of year. After landing, the pairs shed their wings and look for a crack, hole, or knot in wood to start a colony.
  • Native subterranean termites (Reticulitermes): Florida’s three species swarm at different times. R. hageni flies from early December to early February, in the evening. R. flavipes flies from early January through April, and R. virginicus flies from early February to late May. Those two usually fly on warm, sunny, windless early afternoons, often after rain.

For Lighthouse Point homeowners, that means winged termites can show up in winter, spring, or early summer depending on the species. Discarded wings on a window sill, or a swarm around porch lights on a spring evening, are good reasons to book an inspection. A drywood colony also grows for years before it produces swarmers, around five years for a mature West Indian drywood colony. An inspection can make sense even if you’ve never seen a swarm.

How Our Termite Inspection and Treatment Process Works

Every termite job follows the same basic order. The treatment itself depends on the species and on the option you choose.

  1. Free inspection.

    Our inspector checks the accessible areas of your home for signs like frass pellets, mud tubes, discarded wings, and damaged wood.

  2. Species identification.

    The inspector determines whether the activity is drywood, Formosan, or native subterranean termites. That decides which methods will work.

  3. Written options.

    You get a written quote with the methods that fit your species. For drywood termites, that can be a bond, spot treatment, or tent fumigation. For Formosan termites, it can be liquid soil treatment, fumigation, or a baiting system. For native subterranean colonies, it can be a baiting system.

  4. Preparation.

    Each method has its own prep. Tent fumigation means leaving the home for the vacate period, typically two nights and three days, completing a preparation checklist, and staying out until the licensed fumigator posts clearance. Liquid treatment doesn’t require you to leave. You’ll still clear items away from the foundation and mark any buried lines. People and pets must stay clear of the work area while it’s underway and off treated soil until the application has been watered in or has dried. Installing bait stations involves digging in the soil around the perimeter.

  5. Treatment.

    Our technician applies the method you chose, following the product label.

  6. Contract terms.

    Afterward, whatever coverage your specific agreement includes applies. For a baiting system, that means station inspections at least once a year during the initial term and any optional renewal term. Formosan fumigation includes no coverage.

What Termite Treatment Costs in Lighthouse Point

The starting figure below applies to one service only: a one-year drywood termite bond on a smaller home.

Termite protection in Lighthouse Point starts around $975 for a one-year drywood termite bond on a smaller home.

Every other method is quoted separately for your home. That includes the three-year bond, spot treatment, drywood or Formosan fumigation, Formosan liquid treatment, and the termite baiting system. The biggest price factors are the species, the size and layout of the house, how widespread the activity is, the method you pick, and whether you choose optional renewals. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written quote. Official WDO real-estate reports and clearance letters for home closings are a separate paid service, quoted on request.

What On Demand Pest Control Customers Say

★★★★★

“Aiden was excellent! On his own initiative, he checked the wooden table and mirror by the front door where the dead termites had been found. He also checked another piece of wooden furniture that was nearby. He also found a new hole that the termites had made and was very thorough in treating the whole area. We are very pleased with his service and would highly recommend him to our friends.”

— A. Jones
★★★★★

“On Friday morning I saw what appeared to be droppings from drywood termites in my cabinet. I sent an online inquiry about a termite inspection. I received a call within 10 minutes, and by 130 that afternoon Bill came by to do a free inspection. Bill was knowledgeable, thorough, honest, and polite. He didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need and provided a synopsis of possible treatments.”

— L. Shortt
★★★★★

“My neighbors used them and they came highly recommended. I called, they scheduled right away to come out, scheduled the tenting for termites right away, and scheduled the walk through appointment. Matthew Klein Senior inspector came out and is my rep now. He is very thorough, honest, and upfront. They do not add additional services just because, they listen to your needs, no games.”

— C. Luongo

Why Lighthouse Point Homeowners Choose On Demand for Termite Work

Choosing a termite company mostly comes down to clear options and clear contracts. Here’s what we offer:

  • Species-matched options: Seven termite services cover drywood, Formosan, and subterranean termites, so we recommend what fits your termite. You won’t get the same plan for every house.
  • Written terms for each method: Every service has its own agreement, and you’ll see it before you commit. Coverage, renewal, and transfer rules differ by method, and some methods, like Formosan fumigation, carry no warranty.
  • Free standard inspection: An inspector looks at your home and gives you a written quote at no cost.
  • Fast response: We respond the same day, and new customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours. Same-day appointments depend on availability and preparation.

Termite Warranty Terms by Treatment Method

Coverage depends on the service you choose, because each termite method has its own contract. There is no single warranty for every treatment. The main points in plain terms:

  • Drywood termite bond: Comes with a one-year or three-year initial term. During the term, any additional drywood treatment we decide is needed is included. You can extend with optional yearly renewals.
  • Drywood tent fumigation: A one-year initial term with optional yearly renewal. If covered drywood activity shows up during the term, we re-treat.
  • Drywood spot treatment: Covers only the specific areas treated, for sixty days. It can’t be renewed or transferred. Reinspection happens only when you request it and may be subject to a service fee.
  • Formosan liquid treatment: A one-year initial term with optional yearly renewal. If covered Formosan activity returns, the remedy is further liquid treatment, never fumigation.
  • Formosan fumigation: Sold with no warranty, and it includes no retreatment obligation or renewal. If you want more work later, it’s quoted as a new, separate job.
  • Termite baiting system: Installation includes the first year of station monitoring and servicing, with optional yearly renewal. Stations are inspected at least once a year during the initial term and any renewal term. It covers subterranean termites only. Drywood and above-ground infestations are not covered.

None of these agreements pay for wood repair or termite damage, and none promise termites won’t come back. For the bond, spot, drywood fumigation, and liquid agreements, warranty service is reactive. It starts when you report activity, and your specific agreement sets the inspection and re-treatment terms that apply. Read the full warranty terms for your method before you sign. They cover renewal fees, transfer rules if you sell the home, and your responsibilities, such as fixing moisture problems we identify.

Frequently asked questions

Is the termite inspection free in Lighthouse Point?

Yes, the standard initial inspection is free. It covers the accessible areas of your home, species identification, and a written quote. An official WDO report or clearance letter for a home sale is a separate paid service, quoted on request.

Do I have to leave my house for termite treatment?

It depends on the method. Tent fumigation means leaving for the vacate period, typically two nights and three days, and staying out until the licensed fumigator posts clearance. Formosan liquid treatment doesn't require you to leave, but it has its own prep. People and pets need to stay clear of the work area and off treated soil until the application has been watered in or has dried. Bait station installation involves digging around the perimeter, and the installed stations are inspected at least once a year during the initial term and any optional renewal term.

Does Formosan termite fumigation come with a warranty?

No. Formosan fumigation is sold without a warranty and includes no retreatment obligation or renewal. For ongoing coverage against Formosan termites, you can choose a separate agreement, such as the Formosan liquid treatment or a termite baiting system. Each has its own terms.

Can a baiting system treat drywood termites?

No. A baiting system targets subterranean termites, including Formosan termites, through stations in the soil. Drywood colonies live entirely inside wood with no soil contact, so they're handled with a bond, spot treatment, or tent fumigation.

How soon can someone come out to my Lighthouse Point home?

We respond the same day. New customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours, and same-day appointments depend on availability and preparation. Call with your address and we'll find the first open time.
