West Palm Beach homes are under constant threat from termites. The most common type of this pest is the Reticulitermes flavipes or the eastern subterranean termite. Subterranean termites can move underground until they are within a few feet of a home and then feed on it unnoticed until the infestation causes thousands of dollars in damage.

Shoreline Environmental Pest Solutions understands that these pests do not even have to enter a home to cause destruction. Subterranean termites feed on every type of cellulose material, so not just wood, but books, newspapers, and even cotton clothing are at risk. Homeowners need to remove these items from outside storage and keep them inside the home; preferably in sealed, plastic storage boxes when possible.

To achieve the best termite control results for West Palm Beach homes, Shoreline Environmental Pest Solutions uses a combination of Termidor and Sentricon products to kill termites already on the property and to prevent more from entering.

After inspecting and finding the points of activity near and in the home, our technicians drill holes into the ground, the foundation, and the floors if needed. Next, they inject Termidor so that termites in and near the home step through it, taking it back to their colonies, and eventually poisoning every pest in them.

To stop and kill Subterranean termites at the perimeter, our specialists insert Sentricon bait traps outside the home. They place these devices around the home about ten feet apart. If an inspection discovers multiple colonies nearby the home, specialists place them closer together to ensure maximum coverage. Since Sentricon bait is designed to be more attractive than cellulose, termites exhaust it and carry it to their colonies before moving past them to the home.

Termites are one of the worst pests a West Palm Beach homeowner has to deal with in Florida. The goal for Shoreline Environmental Pest Solutions is to eliminate termites inside the home and in the outside perimeter.
