Expert Termite Treatment for Sarasota Homes

Blue Frog offers high-quality termite control for both Dry Wood and Subterranean termites. Our trained inspectors will help you identify which type you're dealing with during a free consultation. The right identification is critical — because each type requires a completely different treatment approach.

Dry Wood Termites

Dry Wood termites are found inside dry wood and survive without soil contact or moisture. They are particularly destructive because they can infest structural timbers, furniture, and framing throughout a home undetected. They eat wallpaper, plastics, fabrics, and anything made from natural fibers. Signs include small pellet-like frass (droppings) near wood surfaces and hollow-sounding timbers.

Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites live in underground colonies and need soil contact to survive, but they travel above ground through mud tubes to reach and devour wood. They are the most destructive termite species in the United States and are extremely common in Southwest Florida. A single colony can contain millions of termites and cause severe structural damage within months.

Our Treatment Approach

We use state-of-the-art Trelona ATBS (Above ground Termite Bait Stations) — an advanced annual bait system that attracts termites, eliminates the colony, and provides ongoing monitoring. This approach is less invasive than traditional liquid treatments and more effective at complete colony elimination.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control

What is the difference between Dry Wood and Subterranean termites?

Dry Wood termites live inside dry wood without needing soil contact or moisture, infesting structural timber, furniture, and framing. Subterranean termites live in underground colonies and travel through mud tubes to reach wood above ground. Both are common in Southwest Florida and require different treatment approaches.

What are the warning signs of a termite infestation?

Common warning signs include mud tubes on walls or foundation, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, small pellet-like droppings (frass) near wood, discarded wings near windows after a swarm, bubbling or uneven paint, and sagging floors or ceilings. Contact Blue Frog immediately if you notice any of these.

What are Trelona ATBS termite bait stations?

Trelona ATBS (Above Ground Termite Bait Stations) are a state-of-the-art termite management system using a highly palatable bait to attract termites and deliver an active ingredient that eliminates the entire colony. Installed around your home's perimeter and monitored annually, they are less invasive than traditional liquid barrier treatments.

Is Blue Frog certified in termite management?

Yes. Blue Frog holds a UF IFAS Masters certification in Termite Management — among the highest levels of termite-specific training through the University of Florida. Our technicians are also state-licensed under FL License JF124412.

Do you offer free termite inspections?

Yes. Blue Frog provides free termite inspections and consultations throughout our service area. Our trained inspectors will identify termite type, assess infestation severity, and recommend the most effective treatment — with no obligation.
