Professional Termite Inspections for Key Biscayne Properties
Thorough Assessment by Licensed Island Specialists
Termite inspections on Key Biscayne require understanding how barrier island conditions affect wood-destroying organisms. The combination of maritime humidity, sandy soil, salt air exposure, and diverse construction types creates inspection challenges that mainland experience alone cannot address. Florida Termite Guys brings over 15 years of island-specific expertise to every Key Biscayne inspection.
Our licensed inspectors examine your property comprehensively. We check attic spaces where drywood termites often establish colonies in roof framing. We inspect foundation areas where subterranean termites build mud tubes to access structural wood. We assess exterior elements where salt air may have compromised wood surfaces creating entry points. For condos, we examine unit interiors and coordinate with management for common area access when appropriate.
Whether you need a pre-purchase inspection for a Key Biscayne real estate transaction, a WDO report for a VA loan or conventional mortgage, or simply want peace of mind about your island investment, our inspection provides the answers you need. We identify active termite infestations, evidence of previous damage, and conditions conducive to future problems.
Every inspection concludes with a clear explanation of our findings. We show you what we discovered, explain what it means for your property, and outline options if treatment is warranted. Our goal is informed decision-making, not sales pressure. You get honest assessment from professionals who understand Key Biscayne properties.

What Our Inspectors Look For
Comprehensive assessment of termite indicators
Active Termite Evidence
We search for live termites, fresh frass (drywood termite droppings), active mud tubes, and recent damage. Active infestations require treatment decisions. Finding current activity early prevents extensive structural damage.
Previous Damage
Evidence of past termite activity tells a property's history. Old damage may indicate previous treatment or untreated problems. We differentiate between active and historical damage to give you accurate information about current conditions.
Conducive Conditions
Some property conditions invite termite problems. Wood-to-soil contact, moisture accumulation, poor ventilation, and compromised exterior surfaces create vulnerabilities. Identifying conducive conditions helps prevent future infestations through targeted corrections.
Island-Specific Factors
Key Biscayne properties face unique challenges. We assess salt air damage to exterior wood, moisture intrusion from maritime humidity, and drainage patterns in sandy soil. These island factors influence termite risk and treatment recommendations.
