Mud Tubes
Mud tubes on foundation walls, in crawl spaces, or along exterior surfaces.
Termites work quietly, often for months before anyone notices. By the time you see damaged wood, the colony may already be well established. Pest Exterminator Greenacres provides careful termite inspections and targeted treatment for homes and businesses in Greenacres and across Palm Beach County, so you can stop the problem early and protect your property.
South Florida is one of the most active termite regions in the country. Warm temperatures, high humidity, frequent rain, and sandy soil let termites stay active nearly all year. Unlike colder states, we do not get a long winter pause, so a small infestation can keep growing and spreading.
Termites feed on cellulose, which means wooden framing, trim, doors, cabinets, furniture, and even paper and insulation can be damaged. Because most of their feeding happens out of sight, regular inspections are one of the smartest ways to protect your biggest investment.
Call us if you notice any of the following:
Mud tubes on foundation walls, in crawl spaces, or along exterior surfaces.
Discarded wings near windowsills, doors, or light fixtures after a swarm.
Hollow-sounding or soft wood when tapped.
Tiny pellets that look like sawdust or coffee grounds, common with drywood termites.
Bubbling or peeling paint or small holes in drywall or wood.
Sticking doors or windows caused by moisture and structural changes.
Seeing even one of these signs is reason enough to book an inspection. Early action is almost always easier and less expensive than repairing advanced damage. Swarmers flying indoors, especially near lights, are another sign to watch for.
These termites live in colonies in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood above ground. They can cause serious structural damage because colonies can be very large. Treatment focuses on the soil around and under the structure and on the colony itself.
Drywood termites live entirely inside the wood they eat, including furniture, framing, and attic wood. They do not need soil contact, so they are often found in upper areas of a home. Treatment is targeted to the wood or areas, depending on the extent of the infestation.
A more aggressive subterranean species found in parts of Florida. Formosan colonies can grow large and damage wood quickly, so fast inspection and treatment matter.

Common signs include mud tubes, discarded wings, hollow-sounding wood, and small piles of pellets near wood. Because termites hide inside walls and wood, a professional inspection is the most reliable way to know.
Subterranean termites live in the soil and travel to wood through mud tubes. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself and do not need soil contact. They are treated differently, so identifying the type matters.
It depends on the method and the size of the problem. Many localized treatments are completed in one visit, while customized defense plans take structured steps. We explain the timeline during your inspection.
We explain any precautions before we start and apply treatments in a targeted, EPA-approved manner with clear re-entry instructions.
