Drywood termites
Drywood termites can live within wood without a soil connection. If you suspect activity in framing, trim, furniture, or other wood, describe the location rather than assuming the species.

Seeing possible termite activity or planning ahead for a property? Bug The Bugs discusses termite inspections and treatment options for homes and other properties on Sanibel Island and in surrounding Southwest Florida communities.

A Practical Starting Point
Is the concern active? What kind of termites may be involved? Where is activity occurring? Bug The Bugs lists termite inspections, drywood and subterranean termite treatments, and baiting systems. An evaluation helps make sense of those choices for a specific property.
Sanibel Island is the local starting point. If your property is elsewhere in Southwest Florida, share its address when you contact the team to confirm coverage.

Subterranean termites generally nest in soil and forage toward wood. Baiting systems may be part of a discussion for this type, but the appropriate approach depends on the property.
Inspection & Evaluation
Possible termite signs deserve a closer look, especially when you cannot tell what caused them. Explain where and when you noticed the activity, whether the property has had previous termite service, and what you want to protect or resolve.
Bug The Bugs lists termite inspections among its services. After evaluating the concern, the team can discuss suitable next steps without treating every property as the same case.
