Subterranean Termite Control built for Jacksonville homes

Jacksonville sits at the end of Florida's longest river, where the St. Johns meets the Atlantic, and the low, flat terrain and poorly drained sandy soils across Duval County create conditions that subterranean termites exploit year-round. Native subterranean termite species swarm on warm afternoons after rain from December through May, while Formosan subterranean termites, which have been identified in Duval County, swarm after sunset from early April into late June, peaking in May. The wet season running June through September keeps soil moisture elevated, which supports active foraging along foundation perimeters and through any gap where wood contacts the ground. A continuous protection program addresses both swarm windows and the foraging pressure between them, giving Jacksonville homeowners structured coverage across every season.

Direct answer

What's the best subterranean termite control option in Jacksonville?

A customized plan that starts with an inspection of your home and yard, followed by targeted treatment and recurring follow-up. That is what handles Jacksonville's subterranean termite pressure long-term.

Subterranean termite species we treat in Jacksonville

The treatment plan changes depending on the species. Here's what we look for during your inspection.

Eastern subterranean

Reticulitermes flavipes. The most widespread termite in the U.S. and the dominant species across the Southeast. Colonies of 100,000+ workers move quietly from soil into wood, framing and trim.

Formosan termite

Coptotermes formosanus. The 'super-termite.' Massive colonies (millions of workers) and aggressive feeding rates. Common across the Gulf Coast and increasingly into South Carolina.

Asian subterranean

Coptotermes gestroi. Established and spreading across South Florida. Similar destructive potential to Formosan, with colonies that thrive in our humid coastal climate.

Swarmers (alates)

The reproductive stage. Dark bodies, two pairs of equal-length wings. Seeing them indoors, especially around windows in spring. Almost always means an established colony nearby.

How we work in Jacksonville

What to expect from your visit

100% Guaranteed

01

Termite inspection

We inspect the structure, foundation, slab penetrations and conducive conditions around your home to confirm subterranean termite activity and risk.
02

Sentricon® stations installed

Discreet bait stations are placed in the soil around the perimeter of your home, spaced to intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure.
03

Always Active™ baiting

Stations are loaded with Recruit® HD bait from day one. Termites feed on it, share it through the colony, and the colony is eliminated, including the queen.

FAQ

Subterranean Termite Control in Jacksonville.

Quick answers to what Jacksonville homeowners ask us most.

(904) 312-7594

Do I need pest control through a Jacksonville winter?

Yes, and it is often the visit that matters most. The First Coast gets real cold snaps, and the pests we cover respond by moving into wall voids, garages and storage spaces rather than dying off. Skipping the winter service is how a small December problem becomes a spring one.

Why do ants and palmetto bugs seem worse after summer rainstorms in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville averages around 53 inches of rain a year, with June through September the wettest stretch. That sustained moisture saturates the county's sandy, poorly drained soils, pushing ants, American cockroaches and other ground-dwelling pests up and into homes. A consistent year-round program keeps pressure managed before the wet season drives activity indoors.

What kind of termites do you treat?

We focus on subterranean termites, the most common and most destructive termite in our markets, using the Sentricon® System. If you're not sure what you're seeing, your technician will help you identify it during the inspection.

What is the Sentricon® System?

Sentricon® with Always Active™ is a colony-elimination baiting system. Discreet stations are installed in the soil around your home and loaded with Recruit® HD bait from day one. Foraging termites feed on the bait, share it back through the colony, and the colony, including the queen, is eliminated. There's no drilling into your slab, no tank trucks and no chemical barrier injected under your home.

How is Sentricon different from a liquid termite treatment?

Liquid treatments create a chemical barrier in the soil that has to be reapplied as it breaks down. Sentricon eliminates the colony itself, then keeps continuous bait in place to intercept new colonies before they reach the structure. It's also far less invasive, no drilling and no large quantities of liquid pesticide around your foundation.

How do I know if I have subterranean termites?

Common signs include mud tubes on your foundation or in the garage, soft or hollow-sounding wood, small piles of wings near windows after a swarm, and bubbling or warped paint. If you're seeing any of these, schedule an inspection. Termite damage is cumulative and only gets worse the longer it goes untreated.

Is Sentricon safe around kids and pets?

Yes. The bait is contained inside locked, in-ground stations, so there's no exposed product on your property and nothing applied inside the home. Your technician will walk you through everything during installation.
