Termite prevention can provide home and business owners in Winter Haven, FL with peace of mind, safety, and economic and environmental benefits.
Termite prevention is far easier and less expensive than dealing with the pests once they’ve set up shop in your trees or in the wood of your home or business. As part of a property-wide system of prevention, control, and elimination, termite prevention can provide home and business owners with peace of mind, safety, and economic and environmental benefits.
Termite prevention starts with identifying if there are any termites currently on the property. Trained professionals can easily spot areas that are being used by pests, including termites, as well as identify areas that could potentially be used for access to a home or the simplest way onto and into the property. Elimination of current infestations while effectively defending the property from further intrusion is the dual-pronged assault needed to rid your home and property of pests.

Termite Prevention FAQs
Although termites are small, they can cause big damage. This is especially true if they go undetected, but our team at The Other Side Lawn & Ornamental Pest Control Inc. is here to help you prevent an infestation at your property. Proactive termite prevention is key, but we know you probably have some questions. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we get asked about termite prevention, and we also encourage you to contact us with further questions or concerns.
What attracts termites to a property?
Termites are drawn to three main things: moisture, wood, and warmth. Unfortunately, our homes often provide all three. Leaky pipes, poor soil drainage, too much mulch close to the foundation, and similar situations can all make your home inviting to termites.
Do I still need termite prevention if my home is made from brick or concrete?
Yes. Termites can access wooden structural elements inside your home, even if the exterior is concrete or brick. No home is totally termite-proof without preventative measures.
When is termite season?
In our area, we see two different main activity seasons. In February through April, subterranean termites are most active. Drywood termites are most active between June and August.
How long do termite prevention treatments last?
That depends on the specific type of treatment and the unique factors of your property. Our team will do a thorough assessment and determine the best termite prevention plan, which we will explain to you in-depth before we get started.
