Termite Control Tampa, FL | Talvera Pest Control

Trelona® bait stations provide an alternative to relying entirely on a traditional liquid soil treatment. Stations are installed in the soil around the structure, where they can intercept termites foraging near the property.

A bait station program may be a good choice for:

• Preventive termite protection
• Properties where extensive drilling is undesirable
• Homes with construction features that make liquid treatment difficult
• Customers who prefer an ongoing monitoring program
• Properties with known or suspected subterranean termite activity

The number and placement of stations depend on the size, shape and construction of the property. Because termite bait systems require continued monitoring and maintenance, Trelona protection is offered as an ongoing service rather than a one-time installation.

We will provide clear pricing for the initial installation and future renewal or monitoring service before work begins.

Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites can establish colonies directly inside dry wood without maintaining contact with the soil. Common signs include discarded wings and small piles of dry, pellet-like droppings known as frass.

Our drywood termite inspection focuses on accessible areas where evidence is commonly found, including:

• Windows and doorframes
• Attics and roof framing
• Baseboards and trim
• Exposed structural wood
• Areas where wings or pellets have appeared
• Previously repaired or damaged wood

Drywood termite infestations can sometimes be limited to a specific area, but activity may also exist in inaccessible portions of the structure. After the inspection, we will explain the evidence found and whether localized treatment, additional evaluation or whole-structure fumigation should be considered.

Talvera Pest Control does not recommend treating a property until the type of termite and likely extent of activity have been evaluated.

Drywood Termite Inspections a new home, addition or commercial structure in the Tampa area? A properly timed pre-construction termite treatment helps protect the structure before the concrete slab or other building components make the soil inaccessible.

Pre-construction services may include:

• Soil treatment before a slab is poured
• Treatment beneath additions and new rooms
• Treatment around plumbing and utility penetrations
• Treatment of trenches and foundation areas
• Coordination with builders, plumbers and property owners
• Documentation of treated areas and application details

Timing is important. Contact us before concrete is poured so we can review the dimensions, construction schedule and treatment requirements
