An aggressive species of subterranean termites, also known as “super termites.” They are found primarily in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alabama, and along the Gulf Coast. They live in huge colonies and can cause structural damage much faster than other types.
Common in states nearer to the coast, like California and Florida, although they do not require contact with the ground to survive. They move directly into your furniture, shelving, or structural beams, making them harder to detect until the damage is done.

Termites are masters of hiding. While you might see mud tunnels or wings, they often stay out of sight. The best way to be sure is to have one of our commercial termite exterminators perform a termite inspection of your property.
Look for a well-established company backed by comprehensive warranties that can support you and your business for years to come, continuously researches the latest technology, and has local, highly trained commercial termite control experts who know your area.
A commercial termite prevention program is typically more cost-effective than a curative one. By using proactive defenses like bait stations, you can stop termite infestations before they reach your commercial property.
Most commercial property insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Check with your provider to verify your policy coverage.
DIY fixes can backfire. If you disturb a colony without a complete plan, they may simply move to a different, more hidden part of your building. Professional commercial termite control services help ensure the problem is actually solved.
