What We Find on Wynwood Termite Inspections
Wynwood was a warehouse district before it was anything
else, and the buildings that were converted rather than replaced still have the
roofs they were built with.
Those roofs are large-span wood trusses, often bolted
timber, spanning forty feet or more with no interior wall to break the run.
When drywood gets into one chord, it has an uninterrupted path across the whole
building, and the finished ceilings installed during the conversion put a barrier between the framing and anyone who might have noticed. We find frass
on a gallery floor and the colony six feet above it behind new drywall.
At street level, the picture is different. The original
single-family and small multi-family stock in Wynwood Norte sits on low ground,
and slab-edge tubing behind the planting installed during the last decade of
streetscape work is the standard finding. Our
termite treatment on a conversion and on a house here are two
different jobs.
Termite Species Active in Wynwood
Drywood Termites
Live inside the wood they eat with no soil contact at all. In Wynwood, they sit in truss chords, purlins, and roof decking, which, in a conversion, is nearly all the structural wood in the building.
Native Subterranean Termites
Asian Subterranean Termites
Invasive and established across this side of the county,
able to nest above ground inside a structure. In a building with a large, concealed roof void, that habitat is the reason we do not clear perimeter signs.
Why Wynwood Homeowners Choose Royal Pest & Termite
Royal Pest & Termite has protected Miami-Dade County
homes since 2014 from our Miramar Parkway office. Our technicians are
Florida-licensed and continue training through University of Florida programs,
and we are members of the Florida Pest Management Association. Our own crew performs fumigation, never handing it off to a third-party tenting contractor.
The company carries the name of the owner's dog, which is why product selection starts with the household rather than the pest: everything we use is chosen for homes with animals and children. If you already have us out for pest control in Wynwood, termite work goes on the same account under the same guarantee.
Termite Control Questions from Wynwood Homeowners
How much does termite treatment cost in Wynwood?
Can termites get into furniture?
Can termites be treated without tenting my house?
Yes, when the drywood activity is localized rather than spread through the structure. We inject foam directly into the galleries in the affected wood, and it moves through the colony from there. You don't have to leave the house or bag your food, so we check whether that is an option before recommending fumigation.
How long does termite treatment last?
Do you subcontract your fumigation work?
What attracts termites to a house?
What kills termites instantly?
Nothing available to a homeowner does. Products promising it usually kill the termites you can see while leaving the colony intact, and surface sprays tend to drive activity deeper into the wood. Effective treatment works through the colony: bait and foam transfer between members until they reach the queen, and fumigation saturates the structure.
