Expert Termite Control for Coral Gables Properties
Protecting Architectural Heritage and Property Value
Coral Gables homeowners face termite challenges unlike anywhere else in South Florida. The city's commitment to Mediterranean Revival architecture means many homes feature original 1920s construction with extensive wood framing, barrel tile roofs over wooden support structures, and decorative millwork that drywood termites find irresistible. Modern estates in waterfront neighborhoods contend with both drywood and subterranean termite pressure year-round.
Florida Termite Guys delivers termite control specifically calibrated for Coral Gables properties. We recognize that treating a George Merrick-era home on Alhambra Circle requires different protocols than servicing a contemporary residence in Gables Estates. Our technicians understand period construction techniques and know how to eliminate termite colonies without damaging irreplaceable architectural features.
Every termite control engagement begins with thorough species identification. Drywood termites, Eastern subterranean termites, and Formosan termites each require distinct treatment approaches. We map colony locations, assess damage extent, and recommend solutions matched to your property's specific situation. No cookie-cutter approaches. Just effective termite elimination backed by our comprehensive 1-year warranty.

Termite Species Threatening Coral Gables Homes
Know your enemy to defeat them effectively
Multiple termite species attack Coral Gables properties simultaneously. Understanding each helps property owners recognize threats and appreciate why targeted treatment matters.
Drywood Termites
Drywood termites establish colonies entirely within wooden structures, requiring no soil contact. They attack roof framing, window frames, door casings, furniture, and decorative woodwork. In Coral Gables' historic homes, original millwork and exposed beam ceilings become prime targets. Signs include small piles of fecal pellets resembling coffee grounds, discarded wings near windows, and hollow-sounding wood when tapped.
Eastern Subterranean Termites
These soil-dwelling termites build mud tubes to access wood above ground. They require moisture and typically attack from foundations upward. Properties near canals in Cocoplum and Gables Estates face elevated pressure due to higher soil moisture. Subterranean termites cause more structural damage faster than drywood species due to their larger colony sizes.
Formosan Subterranean Termites
An invasive species with established populations throughout Miami-Dade, Formosans build the largest termite colonies in North America. A single mature colony can contain millions of individuals and consume wood at alarming rates. They can also create aerial colonies with sufficient moisture, attacking structures at multiple levels simultaneously.

Our Termite Control Methods
The right approach for each situation
Tentless Treatment
Eliminate drywood termites without whole-house tenting. Ideal for localized infestations and homeowners who cannot vacate. Perfect for maintaining neighborhood aesthetics.
Liquid Soil Treatment
Create chemical barriers in soil to intercept subterranean termites. Essential for waterfront properties and homes with history of underground termite activity.
Bait Stations
Monitor and control subterranean colonies with strategically placed bait systems. Ongoing protection that eliminates colonies at their source over time.
Structural Fumigation
Whole-house treatment for severe or widespread infestations. When other methods cannot reach all affected areas, fumigation provides complete colony elimination.
Our technicians examine Coral Gables properties thoroughly, identifying termite activity and recommending appropriate control measures.
