Subterranean Termite Control in Venice, FL

Subterranean Termite Control built for Venice homes

Venice was shaped by a city plan drawn in the mid-1920s, and construction continued well after World War II, meaning the ground beneath homes here has supported structures for generations. That ground is nearly flat pine flatwoods sand, poorly drained, with the water table rising close to the surface during prolonged wet periods. With about 51 inches of rain a year, most falling from June through September, subterranean termites find the moisture they need to sustain foraging tubes and active colonies against wood framing, sills and support members. Because Venice sees fewer than one freezing night in a typical year, colony activity never fully stops. Roughly a third of the housing has been built since 2000, so newer and older properties alike face steady pressure. A free inspection and continuing protection program makes sense at any point in the year.
