Formosan Termite Control

Florida’s most destructive termite —
stopped at the source

Formosan subterranean termites build bigger colonies and cause faster structural damage than native species — and South Florida is prime territory. Bugsy’s stops them from the ground up, where they live: choose a continuous liquid barrier (trench-and-treat with full drill-outs) or Trelona® colony baiting with spot treatment. Both are backed by warranty, and most of the work happens outside your living space.

Why Formosan termites are different

We treat all three subterranean species active in South Florida — Formosan, Asian, and Eastern (native) subterranean termites. Formosans are the most aggressive of the group.

Massive colonies

Formosan colonies grow far larger and more aggressive than native subterranean termites, so damage accumulates faster once they’re inside.

They nest above ground, too

Unlike most subterranean species, Formosans can build “carton” nests inside walls and voids — sustaining an infestation even without constant soil contact.

They eat more than wood

Beyond structural wood, they’ll damage paper, cardboard, and even bore through insulation and building materials as they forage.

Know the warning signs

Caught early, treatment is simpler and cheaper. Call for an inspection if you notice:

Mud foraging tubes on foundations or wallsSwarmers or discarded wings near lights/windowsHollow or blistered woodSoft, sagging, or damaged trimFrass or mud in wall voidsBubbling paint

Two proven ways we treat subterranean termites

Subterranean termites — Formosan, Asian, and Eastern — live in the soil and enter from below. We stop them where they live, with two proven options, and help you choose the right one for your home.

Option How it works Best when
Trench & Treat + Full Drill-Outs (liquid barrier) We trench around the foundation and drill through slabs, patios, and tile to inject a continuous liquid termiticide barrier the colony can’t cross. You want thorough knockdown and a treated barrier around the entire structure.
Trelona® Baiting + Spot Treatment (monitored) In-ground bait stations eliminate the colony at the source, paired with spot treatment of any active areas we find. You prefer a lower-disruption, monitored approach that also guards against future colonies.

Not sure which fits? Your inspection includes a recommendation based on your home’s construction and the level of activity we find.

Our termite process

1

$99 termite inspection — credited to your treatment

We confirm the species (Formosan, Asian, or Eastern subterranean), map the activity, and identify entry points and conducive conditions — with a written report. The $99 fee is applied to the cost of your treatment.

2

Choose your treatment path

Trench-and-treat with full drill-outs for a whole-structure liquid barrier, or Trelona® baiting with spot treatment. We recommend the best fit for your structure and level of activity.

3

Treat & protect

We install the liquid barrier or bait system and spot-treat any active areas, targeting the colony at its source.

4

Warranty & ongoing renewal

Coverage continues with a low monthly renewal so your protection — and your peace of mind — don’t lapse.

Covered

Backed by a warranty with affordable monthly renewal. Formosan pressure doesn’t take a year off, so neither does your protection — our renewal keeps monitoring and re-treatment in place long after the initial job. Exact terms are confirmed at your inspection.
