Termite Control in Tampa, FL
Protecting Your Tampa Home From Termites
Termites and other wood-destroying insects are a significant threat in the Tampa area’s hot, humid climate. These pests stay active all year, and if your house has no protection, they often find a way inside.
Once termites are in your Tampa house, you may not notice them at first, but over time, they eat away at any wood they find. Usually, this means the beams and structural supports that keep your house safe. As these supports weaken, your home becomes less stable and more costly to repair.
Protecting your Tampa house from termites requires help from the professionals at EcoTech Pest Control Services. We offer both preventative and curative solutions to keep termites out.
Living in Tampa brings unique termite risks, as both drywood and subterranean termites thrive in our subtropical environment. Frequent summer rains create moist soil that attracts colonies close to homes. Because of this, we assess each property’s construction and landscape to recommend the best protection for your situation. Our approach centers on safe, attentive service that accounts for the specific threats present in the Tampa area.

Common Signs You Need a Termite Inspection
Many Tampa homeowners first notice termites by the damage they leave behind. You might spot mud tubes along your foundation, piles that look like sawdust near baseboards, or wings that swarmers drop during spring. Wood that sounds hollow, doors and windows that stick, or sections of paint that bubble up can also signal termite activity. Since termites work behind the scenes, damage usually stays hidden until the infestation worsens.
Scheduling a professional termite inspection early helps you avoid expensive repairs. Our technicians know Tampa’s neighborhoods and building styles, so we look for clear signs in attics, crawlspaces, and other high-risk areas. If you spot even a single symptom of termite activity, reach out for an evaluation before the problem grows.
Our Termite Control Process
FREE INSPECTION
Your Tampa termite control service begins with a free inspection. This in-depth look at your home lets us gather the information we need to guide your treatment plan. First, we'll determine whether you have an active termite infestation. If so, we'll identify the termite species to choose the right treatment for your situation.
During the inspection, our licensed technicians check areas vulnerable to termite activity, such as attics, crawl spaces, and around the foundation. Florida's humid weather creates hidden moisture, so we pay close attention to these areas where termites are likely to invade. We share our findings with you so you know exactly what’s happening before any work begins.
TREATMENT
We tailor our termite control treatments based on the activity level, termite species, and the extent of any infestation in your home.
Drywood Termite Treatments: For isolated drywood termite problems, we offer local spot treatment by applying a liquid product to accessible areas.
For larger drywood termite infestations or when these pests have invaded specific furniture, we provide fumigation options. We can handle whole-house tent fumigation and vault fumigation for furniture. For more details, see our Fumigation Service page about our fumigation services in Tampa.
If there’s no active infestation but you want protection against drywood termites, we deliver preventative treatments. We treat exposed wood in your attic and crawl space with a natural borate salt. This application does not break down and gives long-lasting protection without odor or residue.
We consider several factors to recommend the right treatment, such as your home’s construction, any wood touching the soil, and whether your neighborhood has a history of termite issues. In Tampa’s older neighborhoods where many homes use wood, we focus on robust coverage and effective barriers. Our team always communicates your options in clear terms, so you can make comfortable decisions for your property.
Subterranean Termite Treatments: For subterranean termites, we use Termidor® HE by digging a shallow trench in the soil around your house’s perimeter, applying the treatment, and then filling it in. When termites cross this barrier, they can transfer the active ingredient to others, and the treatment eventually reaches the entire colony.
Another option for subterranean termites is the Trelona® ATBS Termite Bait System. We install bait stations at intervals in the ground around your home. When termites find the bait, they carry it back to the colony, spreading the treatment further.
FOLLOW-UP
All of our termite treatments include a one-year renewable warranty. This Annual Termite Protection Plan includes regular inspections for signs of termite activity, plus a re-treatment guarantee.
If you use the Trelona® ATBS Termite Bait System, we include scheduled follow-ups in your service plan. During these visits, we check bait stations and refill them if necessary.
We plan follow-up visits around Tampa’s peak termite season, which usually lasts from spring through early fall. Because termite swarms often follow periods of heavy rain, we adjust check-ins to keep your property secure when termite activity spikes. Ongoing monitoring is the best way to catch new activity early and maintain long-term peace of mind for your household or business.
Termite Control Pricing & Factors in Tampa
Every home presents unique challenges that influence termite control costs. In Tampa, the price for inspection and treatment often depends on several main factors: the home’s size, how severe the infestation is, the type of termite present, and which methods we recommend to control it. Foundation style and ease of access may also affect our approach.
Florida law requires clear disclosure and written treatment agreements, so we always explain what services you receive and what each option costs. We never encourage unnecessary work. Our team walks you through all available service plans, so you can select what works for your budget and property. Acting early helps prevent expensive structural damage—especially in Tampa, where termites stay active year-round.
Don’t Let Termites Damage Your Home
If your home has no termite protection, it runs a serious risk of infestation. Acting early saves you money, frustration, and repairs. EcoTech Pest Control Services offers termite control services to prevent termites from entering your house and get rid of any that are already inside. To request a free termite inspection or learn about our residential and commercial pest control services in Tampa, contact us today.
Termite protection in Tampa is an ongoing need. Termite pressures stay high throughout the year, especially during the wet season, so regular inspections give your property a real advantage. Many homeowners and business owners in Hillsborough County book inspections in both spring and fall to stop colonies from taking hold. We recommend proactive steps to address risks unique to Tampa’s structures, from historic bungalows to new builds on reclaimed land.
