Florida is known for sunshine, beaches, and laid-back living. Unfortunately, it’s also known for something much less pleasant: termites. Thanks to our warm, humid climate, termites thrive in Bay and Walton Counties year-round. That means your home could be at risk even if you don’t see the signs.
At Brock Lawn & Pest Control, we specialize in protecting homes and businesses across Northwest Florida – from Pensacola to Tallahassee and up to the state line – with proactive, year-round termite solutions because when it comes to termites, waiting until there’s a problem is often too late.
Florida’s Termite Threat Is Constant, Not Seasonal
In many parts of the country, termite activity slows down or stops during the winter. That’s not the case here. In Panama City, Santa Rosa Beach, DeFuniak Springs, and surrounding areas, mild winters mean termite colonies remain active all year long.
Combine that with our:
- High humidity
- Sandy, moisture-retaining soil
- Frequent storms that damage wood structures
…and you’ve got a recipe for ideal termite breeding and feeding conditions 12 months a year. That’s why at Brock Lawn & Pest Control, we encourage year-round vigilance, not just springtime inspections.
Termites Cause Major Damage, Silently
One of the most dangerous things about termites is that they often go unnoticed. They don’t make noise, and they don’t need to crawl out in the open. In fact, you might not know you have a problem until it’s too late.
By then, termites may have:
- Hollowed out walls and beams
- Damaged floors and ceilings
- Compromised the structural integrity of your property
Termites cost U.S. homeowners over $5 billion in damage each year, and most insurance companies won’t cover that damage.
When you invest in year-round protection from Brock Lawn & Pest Control, you’re not just preventing pests, you’re protecting your biggest investment.
Florida Has Multiple Termite Species, Each With Different Risks
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that different termite species require different treatment strategies. Florida is home to:
1. Eastern Subterranean Termites
These are the most common termites in the state. They build underground colonies and enter homes through soil contact.
2. Formosan Termites
Known as the “super termites,” Formosans are highly aggressive and capable of consuming wood at alarming rates. They often go unnoticed until significant damage is done.
3. Drywood Termites
Unlike their subterranean cousins, drywood termites don’t need contact with soil. They infest attic rafters, siding, and even furniture.
At Brock Lawn & Pest Control, our experienced technicians are trained to identify, treat, and monitor all three types, tailoring the solution to your home’s specific risk factors.
Preventative Treatment vs. Emergency Response: What’s the Difference?
Many property owners call us after seeing damage. And while we’re always ready to help, by that time, repairs may already be necessary.
That’s why we emphasize preventative termite control, including:
- Annual inspections to identify early warning signs
- Baiting and barrier systems to prevent colony formation
- Ongoing monitoring to ensure your home stays protected
- Moisture control recommendations to reduce risk factors
When you stay ahead of the problem, you avoid thousands in potential repairs—and gain peace of mind.
Bonus: New Buildings Are Not Immune
Some people assume new construction is termite-proof. But that’s a dangerous myth.
In fact, new homes or commercial properties in Florida can be even more vulnerable:
- Builders often use softwoods like pine, which termites love
- Post-construction grading or landscaping can open up entry points
- Some “pre-treated” soil barriers break down within a few years
If your home is new – or even if it was built within the last 10 years – you still need professional protection to maintain its value and integrity.
