Pompano Beach termite services
Every termite treatment licensed in Florida, performed in Pompano Beach.
Most companies will sell you whichever method earns them the highest commission. We hold every Florida certification — fumigation, baiting, liquid barrier, pre-construction soil treatment, wood injection — and recommend the one that fits the species, structure, and budget.

Decision matrix
Which treatment for which termite?
Picking the wrong method wastes money and lets the colony rebuild. Use this matrix as a sanity check before any company hands you a quote.
| Termite identified | Primary recommendation | Acceptable alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Drywood — localized, accessible | No-tent foam/wood injection | Spot treatment |
| Drywood — widespread / hidden | Whole-house tent fumigation (Vikane®) | — |
| Native subterranean | Termidor® HE liquid barrier | Sentricon® baiting |
| Formosan / Asian subterranean | Sentricon® Always Active + Termidor® combo | Trelona® ATBS |
| Dampwood | Moisture remediation + spot treat | — |
| New construction (pre-slab) | Soil-applied pre-construction treatment | — |
| Existing home (preventive) | Annual prevention plan | Sentricon® warranty |
Category 1 · Inspection & assessment
Find them before the bank does.
Inspections drive every decision that follows. Florida’s FDACS-13645 Wood-Destroying Organism Report is the document buyers, lenders, and insurers actually accept — we issue it as a certified WDO inspecting company.
Annual Termite Inspection
Renewal-warranty inspection performed every 12 months on active Sentricon® contracts or post-treatment monitoring agreements.
Annual inspectionTermite Damage Inspection
Assessment for insurance claims, builder warranty disputes, or structural-engineer referrals.
Damage inspectionTermite Warranty Service
Transferable warranty maintenance — survives sale of the home and keeps coverage active for the next owner.
Warranty serviceRetreatment Guarantee
If termites return inside the warranty window, we retreat on our dime. Documented from day one.

Category 2 · Treatment by termite type
Identify the species. Then choose the chemistry.
Termite Treatment
Generalist termite treatment scoped after the inspection identifies which colony is active. Pulls from any of the methods on this page.
Termite treatmentSubterranean Termite Control
Native subterranean colonies need a soil or bait perimeter, not a tent. We deploy Termidor® HE or Sentricon® depending on slab access.
Subterranean controlDrywood Termite Control
Drywoods live entirely in the wood — soil treatment does nothing. We treat with fumigation, no-tent injection, or wood injection depending on extent.
Drywood controlDampwood Termite Control
Less common in Pompano but found around persistent leaks and rotted lumber. The fix is moisture remediation first, treatment second.
Dampwood controlFormosan Termite Control
Broward is the U.S. epicenter of the Formosan invasion (Hallandale, early 1980s). Formosan colonies require an aggressive combination protocol.
Formosan control
Category 3 · Fumigation & localized
Tent, no-tent, or spot — based on how far the drywood colony has spread.
Whole House Tent Fumigation
Sulfuryl fluoride (Vikane®) under tarp — the only treatment that eliminates 100% of a drywood colony, including hidden satellite chambers in framing voids. Vacate window 24–72 hours.
Tent fumigationNo-Tent Drywood Termite Treatment
XT-2000 borate dust or Termidor® foam injected into galleries. No tarp, no vacate. Best for confined activity in accessible framing.
No-tent drywoodLocalized Spot Termite Treatment
Targeted spot treatment for single-room activity. Honest answer: this is a patch, not a colony kill.
Spot treatmentWood Injection Termite Treatment
Pin-hole drilling and pressure-injected termiticide into individual joists, beams, or furniture pieces.
Wood injection
Category 4 · Bait & barrier systems
Long-residual perimeter defense for subterranean colonies.
Sentricon® Termite Bait System
Always Active stations placed around the structure, using noviflumuron (an insect growth regulator) that prevents the colony from molting — slow but total colony collapse. Pro-only product; we are a Certified Sentricon® Specialist.
Sentricon® systemLiquid Soil Termite Treatment
Termidor® HE (fipronil) non-repellent applied as a continuous soil perimeter. 10+ years of residual protection. Termites carry it back via trophallaxis.
Liquid barrierTermite Baiting System Installation
Sentricon®, Trelona® ATBS, or Advance® — installed and GPS-logged per Florida specification.
Baiting installTermite Barrier Treatment
Soil barrier maintenance and recharge for properties on an existing protection plan.
Barrier treatment
Category 5 · Construction & long-term protection
Stop them before the slab even pours.
Pre-Construction Termite Treatment
Florida Building Code (FBC 1816) requires a soil-applied or borate-treated barrier under every new slab. We document and certify in the permit file.
Pre-constructionPost-Construction Termite Treatment
Trench-and-drench, drill-and-treat slab penetrations, or sub-slab injection for existing structures.
Post-constructionTermite Prevention Plan
Annual contract with proactive perimeter spray, bait monitoring, and a full WDO inspection — no termites required to start.
Prevention planStructural Termite Protection
Builder/commercial program for multi-unit complexes, condo associations, and HOA-managed properties.
Structural protection
Treatment chemistry, plainly explained
What’s actually in the truck — and why it matters.
Termidor® HE (fipronil)
A non-repellent liquid termiticide applied to the soil around the structure. “Non-repellent” means termites cannot detect it — they walk through the treated zone, carry the active ingredient back to the colony, and pass it through trophallaxis (mouth-to-mouth food sharing). A correctly applied Termidor® HE barrier protects a Pompano slab for ten years or more.
Sentricon® Always Active (noviflumuron)
An in-ground bait system using noviflumuron, an insect growth regulator that prevents termites from molting. Workers feed, share the bait, fail to molt, and the colony collapses — typically within several months of confirmed feeding. Sentricon® is sold only to Certified Sentricon® Specialists; the annual monitoring fee keeps the warranty in force and is the cheapest insurance in Florida termite control.
Vikane® (sulfuryl fluoride)
The gas used for whole-house tent fumigation. It penetrates wood deeply enough to kill every drywood termite, beetle larva, or carpenter ant living inside the structure — something no spot or no-tent treatment can guarantee. After 24–72 hours under tarp and a documented aeration cycle, the licensed Operator in Charge clears the structure for re-entry once residual gas measures below 1 ppm.
Trelona® ATBS (novaluron)
The Sentricon® competitor we deploy when a property already has a baseline of subterranean activity. Different active ingredient, same molting-disruption mechanism — sometimes the right tool when matrix conditions disfavor noviflumuron uptake.
Altriset® (chlorantraniliprole)
An EPA reduced-risk classification liquid termiticide — useful when a homeowner needs a low-toxicity perimeter around pollinator gardens, koi ponds, or chicken coops. Slower acting than Termidor® but with a far better non-target profile.
The chemistry is the easy part. The hard part is knowing which to deploy where, in what concentration, around what soil composition, and with which warranty terms. That decision comes from the inspection — never from a price sheet.
