Life in the Upper Keys is something special. Whether you’re in Key Largo, Tavernier, or Islamorada, the pace is calmer, the sunsets are better, and the homes feel woven into the natural beauty around them. People here spend more time outdoors, on porches, docks, lanais, and back patios, and homes often feature gorgeous woodwork, coastal construction, and breezy, open-air spaces.
But with all that beauty comes a constant reality:
the Upper Keys are one of the most termite-active areas in the entire state.
Step
1
We Start with a Careful, Coastal-Aware Inspection
Homes in the Upper Keys come with unique vulnerabilities, especially those close to the water. We look at:
• dockside wood, piling areas, and lower-level enclosures
• attic beams exposed to salt moisture
• porches, decks, lanais, and screened outdoor rooms
• crawl spaces under stilt homes
• shaded landscaping that traps humidity
• high ceilings and decorative wood trim
• rooflines and soffits affected by storms
Our tools, moisture meters, infrared imaging, and years of experience, help us find early signs of activity before damage grows.
Step
2
A Treatment Plan Built for Island Homes
We don't treat an Islamorada cottage the same way we treat a Key Largo stilt house or a Tavernier waterfront property. Each one needs its own strategy.
Your plan may include:
• Liquid soil treatments for Subterranean termites
• Bait systems designed for sandy, coastal soil
• Drywood spot treatments for attic and interior infestations
• Full-home fumigation for widespread Drywood activity
• Exterior protection built for salt, humidity, and waterfront exposure
Everything we use is EPA-approved and safe for families, pets, and the local environment.
Step
3
Full-Term Colony Removal with Follow-Up
The Upper Keys are home to some of Florida's strongest termite colonies, including Formosan termites, known for huge colony sizes and rapid spread.
Once we treat your home, we stay connected:
• follow-up checks
• bait monitoring
• moisture assessments
• reinforcement applications if needed
We make sure termites are fully eliminated.
Step

Ongoing Protection for a Climate That Stays Warm All Year
In the Upper Keys, there's no "pest season."
There's just more activity and less activity.
Termites remain active through every month, making consistent monitoring essential.
We've treated homes throughout Key Largo, Tavernier, Plantation Key, and Islamorada. We know how salt exposure, storm patterns, and coastal moisture affect termite activity.
You need technicians who understand the Keys, not someone guessing how island homes differ from the mainland.
If termites return, we come back, free of charge.
Homeowners choose us because we respect their homes, we work quietly and professionally, and we handle high-value properties with care.
Soft wood, peeling paint, hollow-sounding beams, wings, or mud tubes.
