Subterranean Termite Control in Naples, FL

Subterranean Termite Control built for Naples homes

Naples is built largely on flat fill laid over buried muck layers and poorly drained sand atop limestone, conditions that keep soil moisture elevated even between storms. The Golden Gate Canal system empties into the Gordon River and Naples Bay, extending that moisture influence across a wide drainage area. Subterranean termites thrive where soil stays damp, and with roughly 50 inches of rain falling annually and June through September delivering the heaviest totals, foraging pressure against foundations and slab edges remains elevated for most of the year. About 60 percent of Naples housing was constructed between 1960 and 1989, giving termite colonies decades of access to wood framing and slab penetrations. Because Southwest Florida sees only the briefest lull before conditions rebuild, a continuous protection program is what keeps colonies from gaining a foothold season after season.
