Termite Control
At Kendrick Pest Management, termites are taken seriously. We’re here to help you identify, prevent, and eliminate termite infestations in your Florida home or building.
What are
Termites are highly destructive insects that feed on cellulose-based materials like wood, paper, and plant fibers. If not handled promptly and properly, termite infestations can cause significant structural damage, which can diminish the value of your home or building.
In a humid state like Florida, we recommend routine termite inspections to catch pests early before an infestation causes irreparable damage.

Our expert technicians perform thorough inspections to identify the presence of termites, assess the extent of infestation, and locate their nests or colonies. They will provide you with the best plan of action before beginning any treatment.
Treatment options to eliminate termites are unique to your situation. A few determining factors to your tailored treatment plan are:
- Type of termites (subterranean, dry wood, or damp wood)
- Severity of the infestation
- Your home or building’s structure.
We carefully picked out treatment methods that are the safest for you and your family members, both two-legged and four-legged. Our technicians will always inform you of any safety precautions necessary, which may be the case for more extreme infestations.
Termite Control
Why are termites a problem?
Termites are small, wood-eating insects that can cause significant structural damage to homes and buildings. They feed on cellulose-based materials, such as wood and paper, and can weaken the structural integrity of a property if left untreated.
How do I know if I have a termite infestation?
Common signs of a termite infestation include the presence of damaged or hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings, and – in more intense situations – visible swarms of termites. If you suspect an infestation, give us a call immediately.
Are all termite treatments the same?
No, termite treatments can vary depending on the type of termites, the severity of the infestation, and the construction of the building. Common treatment methods include chemical treatments, bait systems, fumigation, and heat treatments. Our team of expert technicians will provide you with all treatment options following inspection.
Is termite control safe for my family and pets?
The termite control products we use are designed to be safe when applied correctly. However, our technicians will inform you about any and all safety precautions that may be needed before or during treatment. If you have concerns, do not be shy to ask us your questions at anytime.
How long does a termite treatment take to be effective?
The time it takes for a termite treatment to be effective can vary depending on the treatment method and the extent of the infestation. In some cases, it may take several weeks to months for termites to be completely eliminated. Follow-up inspections are usually conducted to ensure the treatment’s success.
Do I need to leave my home during termite treatment?
The need to leave your home during termite treatment depends on the treatment method being used and the intensity of the infestation.
Is termite control covered by homeowner’s insurance?
In most cases, standard homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover termite damage or the cost of termite treatments.
How can I prevent future termite infestations?
To prevent future termite infestations, it’s important to maintain good moisture control in and around your home, seal cracks and crevices, use termite-resistant materials during construction, and schedule regular termite inspections.
