Drywood Termite Solutions for Cutler Bay
Expert Identification and Targeted Treatment
Drywood termites pose a distinct challenge from their subterranean cousins. These termites require no soil contact and no external moisture source. They live entirely within the wood they consume, often establishing colonies in attic trusses, door frames, window frames, and furniture. Cutler Bay properties host significant drywood termite populations.
Florida Termite Guys specializes in identifying and eliminating drywood infestations. The telltale signs include small wood-colored pellets that drywood termites push out of their galleries. These pellets accumulate near windows, on floors beneath infested wood, and anywhere colonies have established.
Treatment options for drywood termites include our tentless approach for localized infestations and full fumigation for widespread colonies. We evaluate each situation individually and recommend the method most likely to achieve complete elimination.
Cutler Bay's established neighborhoods often harbor drywood termite colonies that have grown for years or decades before discovery. Properties built during the 1970s through 1990s frequently have original wood framing that drywood termites find ideal for colony establishment.

Signs that indicate drywood infestation
Pellet Piles
Small wood-colored pellets accumulating near windows, doors, or on floors indicate drywood termite activity above.
Discarded Wings
Drywood termite swarmers shed wings after mating flights. Finding wings indoors suggests colony presence.

About Cutler Bay
Cutler Bay's housing development history creates ideal conditions for drywood termites. Homes built during the 1970s through 1990s in neighborhoods like Three Lakes, Saga Bay, and Whispering Pines often feature original wood roof trusses and framing that drywood termites have colonized over decades.
Even newer construction in communities like Lakes by the Bay can develop drywood infestations. Termite swarmers flying from nearby properties establish new colonies in roof structures, attic framing, and exterior wood trim. No home is immune to drywood termite colonization.
Regular inspection catches drywood termite activity early when treatment options are most flexible and costs are lowest. Annual inspections are particularly important for Cutler Bay properties given the significant drywood termite population throughout Miami-Dade County.
Treatment Options
Matching method to situation
Tentless Treatment
For accessible, localized infestations. Direct injection into infested wood eliminates colonies without evacuation.
Full Fumigation
For widespread infestations affecting multiple areas. Complete structure treatment ensures total elimination.
Spot Treatment
For isolated early-stage colonies. Economical option when activity is limited to small areas.
Prevention
Regular inspections and maintenance reduce risk of drywood termite establishment.
