Eliminating Drywood Termites Throughout Doral
Specialized Treatment for Wood-Dwelling Colonies
Drywood termites present a distinct challenge from their subterranean cousins. They require no soil contact, living entirely within the wood they consume. A colony can establish in a window frame, roof rafter, or furniture piece without any connection to the ground. This self-contained lifestyle allows drywood termites to infest any wooden component of your Doral property.
Detection often comes late with drywood termites. They work slowly and quietly within wood, pushing out small pellets of waste that may accumulate unnoticed for years. By the time homeowners discover the characteristic frass piles near windowsills or baseboards, colonies have established and potentially spread to multiple locations.
Florida Termite Guys offers two primary approaches for drywood termite elimination in Doral. Our tentless treatment targets accessible colonies through direct injection, eliminating termites while you stay home. For severe infestations spread throughout a structure, fumigation provides comprehensive elimination of all drywood termite activity.
Treatment selection depends on infestation extent, colony locations, and property characteristics. We assess each situation honestly and recommend the approach that best addresses your specific problem. Our 1-year warranty covers both tentless and fumigation treatments, reflecting confidence in our ability to eliminate drywood termites regardless of method selected.

Why Doral Properties Face Drywood Pressure
Understanding local risk factors
Year-Round Flying Season
Drywood termite swarmers disperse throughout the year in South Florida. New colonies establish constantly as flying reproductives find suitable wood.
Mixed Construction Ages
Doral includes newer developments and older properties. Both face drywood risk, but older homes often contain more untreated wood susceptible to attack.
Swarmer Entry Points
Window frames, door frames, and roof edge trim provide entry for swarmers. These common features exist on virtually every Doral structure.
Slow Detection
Drywood colonies grow slowly and work quietly. Years may pass between initial infestation and visible signs, allowing colonies to establish firmly.
Drywood Treatment Options
Two proven approaches for different situations
We select treatment methods based on your specific infestation characteristics and property needs.
Tentless Injection Treatment
Our signature approach for localized drywood infestations. We access termite galleries through small drill points in infested wood, then inject specialized products under pressure. The treatment spreads through the colony's tunnel system, reaching termites throughout the infested area. You stay home during treatment, keep your food, and avoid evacuation costs.
Full-Structure Fumigation
When drywood termites have spread throughout a structure with activity in multiple areas, fumigation provides comprehensive elimination. We tent the building and introduce fumigant gas that penetrates all wood. Every drywood termite within the structure is eliminated. Required for severe, widespread infestations where tentless treatment cannot reach all activity.
Spot Treatment
For very early-stage or limited infestations, localized spot treatment may suffice. We treat the specific infested wood directly. This economical option works when activity is caught early and confined to a small area.
Selecting the Right Approach
Inspection determines appropriate treatment. We map all drywood termite activity, assess extent of spread, and evaluate colony accessibility. Based on this assessment, we recommend the treatment most likely to achieve complete elimination. We prefer tentless when it fits the situation but recommend fumigation honestly when circumstances warrant.

From assessment to warranty protection
Thorough Inspection
We examine your property for drywood termite evidence, map all activity locations, and determine infestation extent. This assessment drives treatment selection.

Early detection and proper treatment prevents extensive damage from drywood termite colonies hidden within wood structures.
About Doral
Local factors affecting drywood termite risk
Doral's explosive growth since incorporation in 2003 has created a city of diverse construction. Downtown Doral features modern multi-story buildings. Master-planned communities like Doral Isles and Doral Park contain single-family homes ranging from 10 to 20 years old. Older properties near the Palmetto Expressway predate the city itself.
Each construction type presents drywood termite vulnerabilities. Older wood-frame windows invite infestation. Roof trim and fascia boards on homes of any age attract swarmers. Even newer homes with modern building codes develop drywood termite problems when flying reproductives find entry points and suitable wood.
The city's Latin American business community includes many property owners familiar with aggressive termite pressure in their countries of origin. They understand the importance of proactive treatment. Meanwhile, Doral's rapid appreciation means property values justify protecting investments against termite damage. Regular inspections and prompt treatment when activity appears protect equity throughout the city.
Signs of Drywood Termites in Doral
What to watch for on your property
Frass Pellets
Small, wood-colored pellets accumulating near windowsills, baseboards, or on furniture. Drywood termites push waste out of small kick-out holes.
Swarmers
Flying termites emerging inside your home, often near windows or lights. Swarmers indicate a mature colony in or near the structure.
Kick-Out Holes
Tiny holes in wood surfaces, often near pellet accumulations. Termites create these openings to push waste out of their galleries.
Hollow Wood
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped, particularly in window frames, door frames, or trim. Galleries weaken wood from within.
