When Termite Spot Treatment is the Right Choice
Addressing Specific Infestation Points with Precision
Not every subterranean termite discovery requires a full-perimeter foundation treatment. When activity is confined to a single area—such as a specific plumbing stack, a localized section of a crawl space, or a single mud tube on a foundation wall—a subterranean spot treatment may be the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
Florida Termite Guys provides expert spot treatments designed to eliminate localized colonies and block immediate entry points. While a full soil barrier is the ultimate protection, a spot treatment allows us to address urgent problems quickly, preventing further damage to your structural wood while we monitor for more widespread activity.
Our spot treatments aren't just 'spraying and praying.' We use the same non-repellent, professional-grade termiticides as our full treatments. We trench and treat the soil in the specific area of activity, ensuring that the termites currently using those entry points are exposed to the treatment and carry it back to their underground nest.
Each spot treatment we perform is backed by our one-year warranty for the specifically treated area. This provides you with targeted security and the peace of mind that comes with professional oversight. If you've found a suspicious sign of subterranean termites, don't wait for it to spread—address it now with a precision spot treatment.

The Benefits of Localized Spot Treatment
Fast, effective, and minimally invasive
Immediate Intervention
Spot treatments can be performed quickly once an infestation point is found, stopping active damage immediately.
Affordable Options
For localized problems, a spot treatment is a budget-friendly way to get professional-grade results without a full structure cost.
Minimally Invasive
We only treat the area where termites are active, minimizing the amount of drilling or trenching required on your property.
Testing the Waters
A spot treatment can be a good first step for property owners who want to monitor their home's vulnerability before committing to full protection.
Spot treatments are ideal for addressing isolated mud tubes and entry points before termites reach the rest of the structure.
How a Subterranean Spot Treatment Works
Precision ground-level defense
We follow a strict protocol for spot treatments to ensure we don't just move the termites elsewhere, but actually eliminate the active colony.
Localized Soil Saturation
We trench and treat the soil around the identified entry point, usually extending 5-10 feet in both directions. This ensures a thorough zone of protection that the local colony must pass through.
Structural Injection
If termites have already entered the wood above the mud tube, we may perform targeted injections into the framing to eliminate the workers currently feeding there, providing a dual-action solution.
Mud Tube Removal & Monitoring
We scrape away existing mud tubes. This not only removes the termites' 'highway' but also allows us to easily monitor the area during future inspections to ensure no new tubes are being built.
