WHY CLEARWATER HOMES NEED TERMITE PROTECTION
Living near the Gulf means our homes deal with high humidity all year. This moisture softens wood and makes it very attractive to termites. Whether you live in a historic home near downtown or a newer build closer to the beach, termites are a constant threat.
Termite control is about staying ahead of the damage. By the time you see a bug, it might have been chewing on your frame for months.
McDonald Pest Control knows the local landscape. We know that a house in Countryside faces different risks than a condo near the water. We use our years of experience to spot the subtle signs that others might miss.
We look for the “frass” from drywood termites and the mud tubes from subterranean ones. We want to stop the colony before it costs you thousands in repairs.

LOCAL TERMITE TREATMENT THAT LASTS
When you search for termite treatment, you want a solution that actually works for Florida homes. We deal with two main types of termites in our area. Subterranean termites live in the soil and crawl up into your house. Drywood termites fly in and hide in your attic or rafters.
McDonald Pest Control takes a personalized approach to termite extermination. We do not believe in a one size fits all fix. If we find drywood termites, we focus on the wood where they live.
If we find subterranean ones, we target the soil around your foundation. By treating the specific pest and the source, we make sure the job is done right the first time.

FAQs
Keep an eye out for small piles of what looks like coffee grounds or sand near your baseboards. These are likely drywood termite droppings. You might also see tiny, see-through wings on your windowsills after a swarm. If your wood sounds hollow when you tap it, you should call us for an inspection right away.
In Clearwater, termites can be active all year because it stays warm. However, they usually swarm in the spring and summer. Subterranean termites often swarm after a big rain in the springtime. Drywood termites tend to show up as the weather gets even hotter.
It depends on the type of termite and how bad the problem is. Many of our treatments are very targeted and do not require you to leave. We will always talk through the plan with you so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Termites require a very specific type of inspection. While we look for many pests during our visits, a dedicated termite check is the best way to be sure your home is safe. We recommend a professional check at least once a year.
