Eliminating Subterranean Termite Threats in South Florida
Protecting Your Home from the Ground Up
Subterranean termites are responsible for more structural damage in South Florida than any other pest. Unlike drywood termites that live within wood, subterranean species nest deep in the soil and build mud tubes to reach the wood in your home. This biological difference requires a completely different treatment strategy: one that addresses the colony at its source in the ground.
Florida Termite Guys specializes in comprehensive subterranean termite treatment, including the highly aggressive Formosan variety. We understand the unique challenges of Florida construction types, from coral rock foundations to modern concrete slabs. Our treatments are designed to penetrate the soil and create a continuous zone of protection around your entire property.
Our approach combines immediate elimination of active infestations with long-term preventative barriers. We use professional-grade termiticides that termites cannot detect, allowing them to carry the product back to the colony for complete elimination. Whether you have an active problem or want to prevent one, we provide the expertise needed for lasting protection.
Every subterranean treatment we perform is backed by our one-year warranty. We don't just treat your home; we stake our reputation on the results. If termites return within twelve months, we retreat the area at no additional cost to you.

Why Professional Subterranean Treatment is Essential
Subterranean termites require specialized equipment and products
Colony Elimination
We use advanced non-repellent products that termites carry back to the nest, eliminating the entire colony rather than just individual workers.
Protective Barriers
Our soil treatments create a long-lasting chemical zone that prevents new colonies from reaching your structure for years to come.
Expert Identification
Correctly identifying subterranean activity versus drywood termites is critical for choosing the right treatment method. We get it right every time.
Guaranteed Results
With our one-year warranty, you can rest easy knowing that your home is protected and any return visits are covered.
Subterranean termites build mud tubes to travel from the soil to the wood in your home. Finding these early is key to preventing damage.
Our Subterranean Treatment Methods
Tailored solutions for South Florida properties
We utilize the most effective methods available to combat subterranean termites, choosing the right approach for your specific property and infestation level.
Liquid Soil Barriers
This is the gold standard for subterranean protection. We trench around the perimeter of your foundation and inject termiticide into the soil. For properties with concrete slabs, we precisely drill through the slab to reach the soil beneath. This creates a continuous barrier that termites must cross, leading to their elimination.
Monitoring and Baiting Systems
In-ground monitoring stations detect termite activity before they reach your home. When termites are found, we introduce bait that they carry back to the colony. This method is often used in combination with liquid barriers for maximum security, especially in high-risk areas.
Wood Treatment
In addition to soil work, we may treat structural wood directly with borate-based products. This makes the wood unpalatable and toxic to termites, providing an extra layer of defense for the most vulnerable parts of your home.
The Subterranean Treatment Process
A systematic approach to ground-level protection
Detailed Site Inspection
We identify termite species, locate mud tubes, and assess structural vulnerabilities where soil meets wood.
Soil Treatment Application
Our technicians trench and treat the soil around the foundation, creating a comprehensive chemical barrier.
Slab Injection
For interior areas and patios, we drill and inject termiticide through slabs to treat the soil directly beneath.
Certification & Warranty
We provide documentation of the treatment and activate your one-year warranty for ongoing protection.
Advanced Protection Technologies
Using the best products for South Florida homes
Non-Repellent Termiticides
Termites cannot detect these products, so they pass through the treated zone and carry the active ingredient back to the nest.
Transfer Effect
Social grooming and feeding behaviors ensure that the treatment spreads from a few termites to the entire colony.
Moisture Detection
We use specialized tools to find the moisture subterranean termites need, helping us locate hidden nests.
Long-Term Residual
Our soil treatments are formulated to remain active and effective in Florida's soil for several years.
Formosan Termites: A Major South Florida Threat
Dealing with the most aggressive subterranean species
South Florida is home to the Formosan subterranean termite, often called the 'super termite' due to its massive colony size and speed of destruction.
A single Formosan colony can contain millions of termites and consume several pounds of wood per week. They are more resilient and aggressive than native subterranean species, often requiring more intensive treatment protocols. Our team is specifically trained to identify and eliminate Formosan infestations before they cause catastrophic damage.
