Subterranean Termite Protection & Monitoring

Protect Your Sebastian or Vero Beach Home From Termite Damage

Subterranean termites are the most destructive termite species in our area. They live in the soil and can silently damage the structure of your home before you ever see signs. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year — and most homeowner insurance policies do not cover termite damage.

Ongoing monitoring is the best way to catch activity early and avoid costly repairs. At Bug Assassin, we focus on monitoring, prevention, and long-term protection using professional bait station systems.

Signs Of Subterranean Termites

  • Mud tubes along foundation walls

  • Soft or hollow-sounding wood

  • Swarmers (winged termites) indoors or near windows

  • Discarded wings

  • Blistering or damaged wood

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly.

Our Termite Protection Approach

We install in-ground bait stations around the perimeter of your home to:

  • Detect termite activity early

  • Eliminate colonies when present

  • Provide ongoing protection

Stations are monitored annually and bait is replenished.

What We Do NOT Treat

We specialize in subterranean termites only.

We do not treat drywood termites — if you suspect drywoods, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.

(This helps ensure you’re getting the right solution from the right specialist.)
