Expert Drywood Termite Solutions for Pinecrest Homes
Protecting Quality Wood Construction
Drywood termites pose a particular threat to Pinecrest properties. Unlike subterranean species that nest underground, drywood termites live entirely within the wood they consume. The quality wood construction common throughout Pinecrest provides exactly what these termites seek. Hardwood floors, custom millwork, exposed beam ceilings, and built-in cabinetry all attract drywood colony establishment.
Florida Termite Guys specializes in drywood termite treatment with options suited to different situations. Our tentless approach eliminates colonies directly within infested wood without tenting or evacuation. When infestations are severe or widespread, professional fumigation provides complete elimination. We recommend the approach that matches your specific circumstances.
Drywood termite detection often comes late because these insects work silently within wood. Small wood-colored pellets near windows or baseboards frequently provide the first visible sign. By the time pellets appear, colonies have been feeding for years. Early detection and treatment prevents the extensive damage that occurs when infestations go unaddressed.
Our technicians understand drywood termite behavior and the construction characteristics of Pinecrest homes. We locate all activity areas, recommend appropriate treatment, and execute professionally. Every treatment includes our 1-year warranty against drywood termite return to treated areas.

Why Pinecrest Homes Attract Drywood Termites
Quality construction creates vulnerability
Quality Wood Materials
Hardwood floors, custom millwork, and decorative beams in Pinecrest homes provide the dense, quality wood drywood termites prefer.
Year-Round Activity
South Florida's warm climate keeps drywood termite colonies active all twelve months. No winter dormancy slows their feeding.
Entry Opportunities
Windows, doors, and roof edges provide entry points. Swarmers colonize new wood during mating flights.
Mature Housing Stock
Older Pinecrest homes with original wood features have had decades for colonies to establish and spread.
Drywood Treatment Options
Solutions matched to your situation
Different drywood termite situations call for different treatment approaches. These are the primary methods we employ for Pinecrest properties.
Tentless Direct Treatment
Our signature approach for most drywood infestations. We drill small access points into infested wood, inject specialized treatment under pressure, and eliminate colonies directly. Products spread through termite galleries to reach all colony members. You stay home throughout treatment. No tent, no evacuation, no disruption.
Spot Treatment
When drywood termite activity is limited to a specific area, localized spot treatment provides an economical solution. We treat the infested wood directly without whole-house treatment. Effective for early-detection situations and maintenance between comprehensive treatments.
Full Structure Fumigation
For severe infestations spread throughout multiple areas, or when termites occupy inaccessible locations, tent fumigation provides complete elimination. Fumigant gas penetrates all wood throughout the structure, reaching every colony. We recommend fumigation when circumstances warrant this comprehensive approach.
Honest Recommendations
We assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment. While we specialize in tentless approaches, we honestly advise when fumigation represents the better option. Your circumstances determine our recommendation, not our preferences.

About Pinecrest
Drywood termite factors in the village
Pinecrest's housing stock contains exactly what drywood termites seek. Many homes feature extensive wood construction including hardwood floors throughout, custom-built cabinetry, decorative ceiling beams, and millwork details. These quality materials represent significant investment and provide abundant food for drywood colonies.
The village's older homes have had decades for drywood termites to establish colonies. Properties built in the 1950s through 1970s often contain original wood features that have supported termite activity for years. Even newer construction develops problems as swarmers colonize exposed wood during mating flights.
Protecting Pinecrest homes from drywood termites requires treatment approaches that eliminate colonies while respecting the architectural features that make these properties valuable. Our technicians understand quality construction and apply treatments carefully. Properties throughout ZIP codes 33156 and 33157 receive this specialized attention.
Signs of Drywood Termites in Your Home
What to watch for
Pellet Deposits
Small, wood-colored pellets resembling sawdust or sand accumulating near windows, baseboards, or other wood features. The most common visible sign.
Kick-Out Holes
Tiny holes in wood surfaces where termites expel pellets. Often found near pellet accumulations but sometimes separate.
Swarmers
Winged termites emerging indoors, especially after rain or humidity changes. Indicates established colony within your home.
Hollow-Sounding Wood
Wood that sounds hollow when tapped may contain termite galleries. Internal damage often exceeds what surface appearance suggests.
