How much does termite treatment cost in Sanibel?

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 Sanibel?

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 Sanibel, FL

Termite Treatment Built for Sanibel

Sanibel's older, elevated, and heavily shaded coastal homes face termites from both directions. Subterranean colonies work up from the ground into pilings and framing, while drywood termites — the bigger threat on the island — infest exposed fascia, decking, and attic wood with no soil contact at all. We inspect for both, protect against subterranean termites with a Termidor barrier where the structure allows, and treat drywood infestations directly, which on Sanibel is the more common call.

Which Termite Is Threatening Your Sanibel 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.
