What's included
What Our Drywood Termite Control Includes
Every drywood job starts with a real inspection and ends with a written re-inspection. Here is what is covered in a standard treatment, and what we quote separately if your home needs it.
Full Attic and Trim Inspection
We inspect the attic, roof trusses, window frames, door headers, fascia and garage framing with a termite inspection flashlight, moisture meter and sounding tool. Every active gallery gets photographed and marked on your report.
Localized Termiticide Treatment
Affected galleries are drilled and injected with Termidor or Premise termiticide, then sealed. Wall voids get foam termiticide concentrate. This is the core of the drywood termite extermination Pembroke Pines FL service and it is included in every quote.
Borate Wood Treatment
Exposed framing and any new lumber we install get treated with Bora-Care borate wood treatment, which soaks into the wood and protects it from future drywood attack. This is standard on every job, not an upsell.
Written Report and WDO Paperwork
You receive a written summary of findings, treatment locations and products used. If you need a WDO inspection report for a mortgage or closing, we complete that documentation during the same visit.
Re-Inspection Visit
We come back to confirm the colony is dead and no new frass has appeared. If activity is still present in the treated zone, we re-treat at no additional labor cost under our workmanship warranty.
Service overview
What Drywood Termite Control in Pembroke Pines Actually Involves
Drywood Termite Control in Pembroke Pines is a targeted wood-treatment service that eliminates drywood colonies living inside framing, trusses and trim without needing soil contact. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites nest straight in the lumber, so our technicians inspect attics, window frames, fascia and roof trusses with a termite inspection flashlight, sounding tool and borescope inspection camera. We confirm activity by finding frass pellets, kick-out holes and hollow-sounding wood, then treat the exact galleries with Bora-Care borate wood treatment, Termidor foam or a localized termiticide injection.
Pembroke Pines homes built between the 1970s and 2000s use plenty of untreated dimensional lumber in attics and truss systems, and South Florida humidity keeps that wood at the moisture levels drywood termites prefer. We see the problem most often after a roof leak, a hurricane shutter install, or a real estate inspection turns up frass in a closet header. If you are searching for drywood termite treatment in Pembroke Pines, Florida, or trying to figure out the drywood termite treatment cost Pembroke Pines FL homeowners actually pay, we give you a written range before any work starts.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
Our Drywood Termite Control Process, Step by Step
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Phone Triage
Call 954-777-4326 and describe what you found: frass color, location, swarmers, or a soft window frame. We ask the right questions up front, book a same day drywood termite treatment Pembroke Pines FL inspection slot when the schedule allows, and give you a realistic arrival window.
Full Inspection
A licensed technician walks the attic, garage, exterior trim, window frames and roof line with a termite inspection flashlight, moisture meter and sounding tool. We check the moisture reading on suspect lumber and photograph every kick-out hole and frass pile we find. Most inspections take 45 to 90 minutes.
Written Findings
You get a plain-language report showing where the activity is, how far it has spread, and which treatment fits. If you need a WDO inspection for a mortgage or closing, we complete that documentation the same visit. Pricing is quoted before any treatment begins.
Targeted Treatment
We drill and inject the affected galleries with Termidor or Premise termiticide, apply Bora-Care borate wood treatment to exposed framing, and use foam termiticide concentrate in wall voids. Attic work usually runs two to four hours depending on how many galleries we are treating.
Re-Inspection
We schedule a follow-up check to confirm the colony is dead and no new frass has appeared. If we replaced damaged lumber, we verify the repair and confirm the treated zone is still intact. You get the re-inspection results in writing.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Termatrac T3i termite detection device
Detects termite movement behind finished walls without cutting them open, which lets us confirm live activity before we drill.
Thermal imaging camera
Reveals temperature differences caused by moisture and hidden galleries in attic framing and wall cavities.
Borescope inspection camera
Slips into a small drilled hole so we can see inside a wall void or rafter and confirm the extent of the gallery.
Moisture meter
Reads the moisture content of suspect lumber, because drywood termites prefer wood above roughly 12 percent moisture.
Termiticide sprayer and wand
Applies liquid termiticide concentrate and foam termiticide to drilled galleries and wall voids with controlled pressure.
Sounding and tapping tool
Taps framing and trim to find hollow sections that indicate internal termite damage.
Use cases
When Pembroke Pines Homeowners Call Us
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Window Frame Colony in Silver Lakes
Swarmers appeared around a bedroom window in May, and by June the sill had a visible kick-out hole with pellets dropping onto the carpet. The frame sounded hollow from the corner to the header. → We drilled three injection ports, saturated the gallery with Premise termiticide, and applied foam termiticide to the wall void behind the frame. The window frame was sealed and treated with borate. The colony was dead within two weeks.
Pre-Closing Treatment in Pembroke Falls
A buyer's inspection flagged drywood frass in the garage header, and the seller's report did not separate active from old damage. The closing was 11 days out and the buyer wanted clarity. → We completed a WDO inspection in 24 hours, confirmed one active gallery, and treated it with drilled injection and borate wood treatment. The report went to the title agent the next day, and the closing stayed on schedule.
Problems we solve
Drywood Termite Problems We Solve in Pembroke Pines
Drywood termites do not announce themselves. By the time most homeowners call us, the colony has been feeding for months. Here are the problems we see most often.
Frass pellets piling up under window frames
We locate the kick-out hole with a borescope inspection camera, drill into the gallery, and inject Termidor termiticide until the void is saturated. The hole is sealed and the surrounding wood gets borate treatment.
Swarmers around porch lights in spring
We inspect the attic and exterior trim for new galleries, treat any active colonies we find, and apply borate wood treatment to exposed framing to make the wood unpalatable to new swarmers.
Hollow-sounding wood and bubbling paint
We sound the full run of affected lumber, measure moisture with a moisture meter, and treat or replace the damaged section. Treated lumber and wood replacement materials are used where the board can no longer carry load.
Termite damage found during a real estate inspection
We complete the WDO inspection, separate active from old damage, and provide a treatment plan with pricing. Most localized drywood treatments are finished within a week of the inspection.
Pricing process
Drywood Termite Treatment Cost in Pembroke Pines
$450 - $3,500 depending on scope
Number of active galleries
One gallery in a window frame is a quick job. Four or five galleries spread across the attic and exterior trim takes longer and uses more termiticide, which moves the price up.
Attic access and height
Low-pitch attics with tight truss spacing take more time to work in safely. Steep roofs and limited access points add labor, and that shows up in the quote.
Lumber replacement needed
If a rafter or header is too far gone to treat, we replace it with treated lumber. Material and carpentry labor are quoted separately from the termite treatment itself.
How much does drywood termite treatment cost in Pembroke Pines FL?
Most localized drywood termite treatments in Pembroke Pines run $450 to $1,800 in 2026, depending on how many galleries we treat and whether attic lumber needs replacement. Full tent fumigation for a 2,000-square-foot home typically lands between $1,800 and $3,500. Inspection fees are separate and usually credited toward the treatment if you move forward.
How do I know if I have drywood termites?
The clearest sign is frass: tiny, ridged, six-sided pellets that pile up below kick-out holes in window frames, door headers or attic rafters. You may also see swarmers around windows and lights, or notice wood that sounds hollow when tapped. If you are searching drywood termite frass near me Pembroke Pines FL, that pile of pellets is your confirmation.
Can drywood termites be treated without tenting?
Yes, when the colony is localized. Spot treatment for drywood termites in Pembroke Pines, Florida uses drilled injection ports, foam termiticide and borate wood treatment on the affected framing. Tenting is the better call when activity shows up in multiple rooms or across several separate colonies. We tell you which one your house actually needs.
Do drywood termites come back after treatment?
They can, because drywood swarmers fly in from outside and start new colonies in untreated wood. A treated gallery stays protected, but new activity can appear years later in a different rafter or window frame. That is why we recommend an annual drywood termite inspection Pembroke Pines homeowners can schedule to catch new colonies while they are still small.
