How much does termite treatment cost in Fort Myers Beach?

It depends on the home’s size, foundation, and whether it is subterranean or drywood, so the price comes from a free inspection. A subterranean Termidor barrier is priced by linear foundation footage; drywood treatment by the areas infested.

What is the difference between subterranean and drywood termites?

Subterranean termites live in the soil and enter through the foundation, building mud tubes — they cause the most damage. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself, in attics and fascia, with no soil contact. The treatment is completely different.

Do I need a WDO inspection to buy or sell in Fort Myers Beach?

For most Florida real estate transactions, yes — a WDO inspection reports active or past termite and wood-decay activity, and lenders and buyers rely on it at closing. We perform WDO inspections throughout Lee County.

Termite Treatment in Fort Myers Beach, FL

Termite Treatment Built for Fort Myers Beach

Termite pressure on Fort Myers Beach is shaped by Estero Island’s mix of older rental cottages and rebuilt coastal homes. Subterranean termites reach ground-contact structures through the sandy fill, but drywood termites are the more frequent island problem, colonizing fascia, trusses, and trim in the salt-air, wood-heavy construction here. We inspect for both and match the treatment to what is present — a Termidor barrier for subterranean activity, direct treatment for drywood.

Which Termite Is Threatening Your Fort Myers Beach Home?

Subterranean Termites

The top threat in Lee County. They swarm up from the soil, build mud tubes on the foundation, and hollow out framing unseen — treated with a Termidor liquid barrier.

Drywood Termites

Live entirely inside the wood — attics, fascia, and window frames — with no soil contact. Treated with targeted, no-tent options where the situation allows.
