About Pompano Termite Control
A local termite company built around the species — not the script.
Most pest control companies sell whichever treatment carries the highest commission. We were started in Pompano Beach with a simple inversion of that incentive: identify the termite, write the species in the report, and recommend the method that matches the biology — even if it’s the cheaper one.
The story
Why this company exists.
Broward County has been the U.S. epicenter of invasive termite expansion since the early 1980s, when the first Formosan colonies were documented in Hallandale. Over the four decades since, the species map of South Florida has only gotten more crowded — native subterranean, Eastern drywood, Western drywood, Formosan, Asian subterranean, and a documented Formosan × Asian hybrid that researchers at the University of Florida found tunneling in a Fort Lauderdale tree in 2015.
What didn’t keep pace was the way most pest-control companies treat them. Nearly every chain we audited — including some of the household names you’d recognize from highway billboards — runs the same generic protocol regardless of which species is actually active in the structure. The result is what we call a “33% treatment”: a method that solves one of the three local termite problems and ignores the other two.
We built Pompano Termite Control to fix that. Every inspection ends with the genus written on the FDACS-13645 form — based on the soldier mandibles, frass morphology, and alate wing venation we observe in the structure. The treatment recommendation follows from the identification. The warranty follows from the treatment. The order is deliberate, and it’s the order that actually eliminates colonies instead of pushing them next door.
“The chemistry is the easy part. The hard part is knowing which tool the biology calls for.”
How we operate
Six principles every customer can hold us to.
Method matches the biology
Drywood gets fumigation or wood injection. Subterranean gets soil barrier or bait. Formosan gets a combination protocol. We don’t cross-treat.
Written warranty, transferable
Every treatment ships with a written warranty that survives a property sale and transfers to the next owner — printed, not promised.
Same tech, same number
The technician who inspected your home is the one who returns to treat it and re-inspect it. The phone number is answered by a person in Pompano Beach.
No high-pressure quotes
We send the written scope by email. You read it on your own time. We follow up once. That is the entire sales process.
Honest about limits
If you have an active drywood colony in your attic, a $200 spot treatment will not kill it. We will say so out loud and recommend the right method even if you decline to use us.
Credentials & certifications
The Florida regulatory baseline — and what we add on top of it.

Where we work
One city. 48 neighborhoods. Deep coverage instead of wide thin coverage.
Our service map is intentionally narrow: Pompano Beach proper, plus close-in properties in Lighthouse Point, Hillsboro Beach, and southern Deerfield Beach. That focus is the reason we can guarantee a Tier 1 same-day inspection inside the city limits — and the reason our technicians actually know the difference between a Cypress Bend mid-rise and an Old Pompano wood-frame bungalow before they pull up to the curb.
See the full coverage map and neighborhood index on the service areas page, or jump to one of our most-requested neighborhoods: Old Pompano, Beach, Palm Aire, Cypress Bend, Cresthaven.
