About This Service
Drywood Termite Treatment
Drywood termites live entirely within the wood they infest — no soil contact needed. They're common in Florida attics, roof framing, furniture, and structural wood. Because they spread through wood-to-wood contact, infestations can span multiple areas of a home before you notice. TAPS offers both localized treatment for isolated colonies and whole-structure fumigation for widespread infestations.
- Localized Termidor Foam injection for isolated colonies
- Whole-structure tent fumigation for widespread infestations
- Attic and roof framing inspections included
- Furniture and wood trim treatment options
- Frass identification and colony mapping
- Post-treatment inspection to confirm elimination
- WDO reports for real estate transactions

Our Process
Simple, transparent, and effective — here's what to expect when you call TAPS.
Inspection & Mapping
We inspect all accessible wood members, attic spaces, and furniture for frass, kick-out holes, and swarmer evidence to map the extent of infestation.
Treatment Recommendation
For isolated colonies, we recommend localized injection. For infestations spanning multiple areas, whole-structure fumigation is the most effective solution.
Treatment
Localized treatment uses Termidor Foam injected directly into infested wood. Fumigation involves tenting the structure and introducing Vikane gas that penetrates all wood members.
Post-Treatment Inspection
We return after treatment to confirm elimination and check for any remaining activity. Preventive recommendations are provided to reduce future risk.
FAQ
Common Questions
How do I know if I have drywood termites?
The most common sign is frass — tiny, hexagonal pellet-shaped droppings that appear on windowsills, floors, or furniture below infested wood. You may also see small kick-out holes in wood surfaces or swarmers near lights in summer.
Do I need fumigation or can you treat locally?
It depends on the extent of infestation. Isolated colonies in a single area can often be treated with localized injection. If termites have spread to multiple wood members throughout the structure, fumigation is the only way to ensure complete elimination.
How long does fumigation take?
The fumigation process typically takes 2–3 days. You'll need to vacate your home and remove plants, pets, and certain food items. We provide a complete preparation checklist.
Is fumigation safe?
Yes. Vikane (sulfuryl fluoride) dissipates completely after fumigation. We use certified equipment to verify gas levels before you return. There is no residue left on surfaces.
Can drywood termites come back after treatment?
Fumigation eliminates all termites in the structure at the time of treatment but does not provide ongoing protection. We recommend sealing entry points (attic vents, gaps in wood) and annual inspections to prevent re-infestation.
