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:
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
$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.
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.
Treat & protect
We install the liquid barrier or bait system and spot-treat any active areas, targeting the colony at its source.
Warranty & ongoing renewal
Coverage continues with a low monthly renewal so your protection — and your peace of mind — don’t lapse.
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.
