OVIEDO TERMITE CONTROL
Innovative Solutions at Termite Lawn and Pest
The termite was once classified as a cockroach, so it’s no surprise that they’re incredibly resilient. There are over 3,100 different types of termites on the planet today, so getting rid of them is no easy task. There are four main species of destructive termites in Florida alone: Eastern subterranean, Formosan subterranean, Powderpost drywood, and Florida dampwood. Thus, having proper Oviedo termite control is crucial.
Fortunately, our techs at Termite Lawn and Pest are equipped to fight these pests with innovative techniques and state-of-the-art insecticides.
How Do Termites Cause So Much Destruction to Homes?
Termites have special enzymes, bacteria, and protozoa in their guts that allow them to digest cellulose. So, they feed on wood, wood furniture, and outdoor wooden structures such as decking. In a short period of time, termites can destroy more than 15 pounds of wood. Then, they move on to look for more wood to eat.
Most colonies of termites consist of one queen. However, some colonies may have several queens, which increases their reproductive capacity exponentially.
If you are already experiencing infestations and require termite control in your Oviedo home or commercial property, Termite Lawn and Pest is here to help.

How Do You Know if You Need Oviedo Termite Control?
When termites move into an area, there are a number of indicators that they will leave behind. One of the first things you will notice is termite swarms. Swarms of termites look like winged ants, and are sometimes called white ants. However, they are not ants. If you notice any of these symptoms, you may be dealing with termites:
- Pellet Piles – You may have seen termite pellets scattered around your home. Each individual termite pellet is about the size of a small grain of rice. The termites can be brown in color, black in color, white in color or reddish in color.
- Blistered Looking Wood – Termites can cause small blisters on wood that appears to have raised lines or small blisters. You can check for termite infestation by tapping gently on the area of the blistered wood with a tool such as a screwdriver. If you get a hollow sound, it’s likely a termite infestation.
- Dropped Wings – Small piles of dropped termite wings may be a sign that termites might have been present. Termite wings can be found on the window sill, around the baseboards, in the vicinity of wooden structural areas, or even caught in spider web.
- Swarming and Flying – During mating season, termites often swarm and fly close to sources of light. The most popular sources of light for termites are porch light, indoor light, and even TV light.
Professional Oviedo Termite Control Services are Always Your Best Option
You don’t want to try to solve your termite problem by yourself. “Do it yourself” pest control systems may get some termites, but not all. If you don’t get rid of all the termites, the ones that are left behind can quickly become unmanageable.
You may use over the counter treatments that aren’t effective for the type of termites you’re dealing with. Or, you may overtreat the area, exposing yourself and your family to potentially harmful chemicals.
Your best option is to hire a professional Oviedo termite control and prevention service like Termite Lawn and Pest.
