Protecting Kendale Lakes Homes from Underground Attack
Specialized Treatment for Subterranean Termite Species
Subterranean termites represent South Florida's most destructive termite species. Unlike drywood termites that live entirely within wood, subterranean colonies nest underground and travel through soil to reach wood food sources. A single colony can contain millions of individuals consuming wood around the clock. Kendale Lakes properties, positioned near natural areas, face significant subterranean termite pressure.
These termites build distinctive mud tubes from soil to wood, creating protected pathways. You might spot tubes on foundation walls, in garages, or along exterior block. Often, however, subterranean termites find hidden entry points and attack for months before detection.
Treatment requires creating barriers in the soil around and beneath your foundation. We apply professional-grade termiticides that termites cannot detect. As workers travel through treated soil, they contact the product and carry it back to the colony, spreading it through the population.
Kendale Lakes soil conditions vary across the community. Sandy areas behave differently than fill dirt or clay. Our technicians understand local soil types and adjust application methods accordingly.

Understanding Subterranean Termites
Know your enemy to protect your property
Underground Colonies
Subterranean termites nest in soil, sometimes many feet below surface. Colonies can contain millions of individuals.
Mud Tube Highways
Workers build mud tubes from soil to wood, creating protected pathways that maintain required humidity.
Moisture Dependent
These termites require moisture from soil contact. They cannot survive prolonged dry exposure.
Maximum Damage Potential
Subterranean termites cause more structural damage than any other termite species in the US.
Our Subterranean Treatment Approach
How we protect Kendale Lakes foundations
Effective control requires treating the soil they travel through.
Perimeter Trenching
We dig narrow trenches along your foundation and apply termiticide solution at precise concentrations. The product binds to soil particles, creating a continuous treated zone. Trenches are backfilled after treatment.
Sub-Slab Injection
For areas covered by concrete slabs, we drill small access holes and inject termiticide beneath the concrete. This treats soil under garages, patios, and interior slab floors.
Transfer Technology
Modern termiticides work through transfer effect. Termites contact the product and carry it back to the colony through normal grooming and feeding behavior.
Monitoring Options
For ongoing peace of mind, we can install monitoring stations around your property. These provide early detection of new termite activity.
The Soil Treatment Process
From inspection to long-term protection
Property Assessment
We inspect for current activity, identify entry points, and assess soil conditions.
Preparation
We clear work areas, identify utility locations, and plan access points.
Treatment Application
Our technicians trench perimeter areas and inject beneath slabs as needed.

Precision application creates continuous treated zones protecting your foundation.
Why Kendale Lakes Properties Need Soil Treatment
Local factors that increase subterranean termite risk
Near Natural Areas
Kendale Lakes sits at the edge of developed Miami-Dade. Natural areas harbor established termite colonies.
Florida Water Table
South Florida's high water table creates moist soil conditions subterranean termites thrive in.
Slab Construction
Most Kendale Lakes homes sit on concrete slabs providing numerous potential entry points.
Year-Round Activity
South Florida never gets cold enough to slow termite activity. Colonies feed twelve months per year.
Subterranean Treatment Results in Kendale Lakes
Homeowners who protected their foundations
Found mud tubes in the garage. Florida Termite Guys treated the entire perimeter. Two years later, monitoring shows zero activity. Should have treated sooner.
