Mud tubes
Pencil-width tunnels along foundations, crawl spaces, or slabs are subterranean termites traveling between soil and wood.

Termite control
Termites are quiet until they are expensive.
By the time most homeowners see termite damage, colonies have been feeding for years. A Plus Pesticide takes an inspection-led approach to termite activity, treatment, and prevention for Jacksonville homes.
Termites in Jacksonville
Termites and Northeast Florida homes.
Jacksonville sits in one of the most termite-active regions of the United States. Subterranean termites — including the highly destructive Formosan species — thrive in our sandy soil and humid climate, and formosan termite swarms are a regular late-spring event in Duval County.
Homeowners' insurance typically does not cover termite damage, which is what makes early detection and prevention worth the attention. A termite inspection is the fastest way to know where you stand.
What to look for
What termite activity can look like.
Discarded wings
Piles of small, translucent wings on windowsills or near doors mark a swarm that happened inside or beside the home.
Hollow-sounding wood
Wood that sounds papery when tapped, or trim that crumbles easily, can mean hidden feeding galleries.
Paint bubbling
Blistering or bubbling paint that looks like water damage — without a water leak — is a classic termite sign.
Our process
How A Plus approaches termite service.
01 — InspectA real inspection of the structure, crawl space, and perimeter to identify activity, pressure points, and species.
02 — RecommendA clear treatment plan for what we find — targeted treatment for active colonies, prevention where the risk is highest.
03 — ProtectOngoing monitoring options so the next swarm does not catch you by surprise.
Common questions
Termites questions we hear.
When do termites swarm in Jacksonville?
Subterranean termites typically swarm on warm days after rain, most often from late winter through spring. Formosan swarms usually peak around May and June, at dusk.
How much damage can termites actually do?
A mature colony can consume wood around the clock for years before damage becomes visible. Repairs routinely run into the thousands once activity is discovered.
Is termite treatment worth it if I haven't seen any?
In this part of Florida, prevention is dramatically cheaper than repair. An inspection gives you a straight answer about your home's actual risk.
