Termite Protection That Takes Out the Whole Colony.
Northeast Florida is termite country. We install and monitor Trelona® Advanced Termite Bait System stations around your home. Termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the nest, with no drilling through your slab and no trenching your yard.
- Free termite inspection by a licensed technician
- Eliminates subterranean colonies, Eastern and Formosan
- No drilling, trenching or liquid flooding around your home
- Stations monitored and serviced by our local team

The Termites Eating Jacksonville Homes
Warm, humid and sandy: Northeast Florida gives termites everything they want, year-round.
Eastern Subterranean
The most common termite in Florida. Colonies live in the soil and travel into homes through mud tubes on foundations, slab cracks and plumbing gaps.
Swarms: late winter–spring, daytime, often after rainFormosan Subterranean
An invasive species established in Northeast Florida. Colonies can number in the millions and do damage far faster than native termites.
Swarms: late spring–early summer, evenings around lightsDrywood
Lives inside the wood itself, with no soil contact. Leaves small piles of pellet-like droppings. Baits don't target drywood; we'll flag it at inspection.
Swarms: warm months, at nightSigns You May Have Termites
Most homeowners find out after the damage is done. Here's what to watch for.
Swarmers or wings
Winged insects near windows and lights, or piles of discarded wings on sills.
Mud tubes
Pencil-width dirt tunnels on the foundation, slab edge, piers or garage walls.
Hollow-sounding wood
Baseboards, trim or door frames that sound hollow or crumble when pressed.
Bubbling paint
Blistered paint or drywall that looks water-damaged without a leak.
Sticking doors & windows
Frames warp as termites tunnel and bring moisture into the wood.
Pellet piles
Small piles of sand-like droppings (frass), a sign of drywood termites.
Built to Eliminate the Colony, Not Just Block It
Liquid barriers try to stop termites at the wall. Trelona® goes after the source.
Install
After a free inspection, we install Trelona® stations in the soil around your home's perimeter. They're baited from day one, sit flush with the ground and lock shut.
Feed & share
Foraging termites find the stations, feed on the bait, and share it with the colony. The active ingredient (novaluron) stops termites from molting.
Eliminate & protect
As termites fail to molt, the colony declines and dies off. We keep monitoring and servicing the stations so new colonies get the same treatment.
Why We Use Trelona® Stations
| Trelona® bait stations | Traditional liquid treatment | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Termites carry the bait home, so the colony is eliminated | Treated soil barrier kills or repels termites at the house |
| Installation | Stations in the soil, with no drilling or trenching | Often trenching beds and drilling slabs, patios and driveways |
| Product use | Bait contained inside locked stations | Large volume of termiticide applied to the soil |
| Ongoing | Stations monitored and serviced on schedule | Barrier can be broken by landscaping, additions or soil movement |

Book My InspectionTermite Questions, Answered
How much does termite protection cost?
It depends mainly on the size of your home's perimeter, since that sets how many stations are needed. The termite inspection is free, and you get a written price for installation and ongoing monitoring before any work starts.
How does Trelona kill termites?
Trelona bait contains novaluron, an insect growth regulator. Worker termites eat the bait and share it through the colony. Termites that ingest it can't molt, so the colony declines and is eliminated over time. It's slow on purpose: a fast-acting bait would kill foragers before they carried it home.
Do you have to drill into my slab or dig up my yard?
No. Trelona stations go into the soil around the outside of your home. There's no drilling through slabs, patios or garage floors, and no trenching through your landscaping.
Is Trelona safe for my kids and pets?
The bait is sealed inside locking, in-ground stations that sit flush with the soil, so kids and pets don't come into contact with it. It targets the insect molting process, which people and pets don't have.
How long until the termites are gone?
It depends on colony size, the season and how quickly termites find the stations. Colony elimination is measured in weeks to months, not days. Your stations stay in place and keep protecting the home after that colony is gone.
Does homeowners insurance cover termite damage?
Usually not. Most homeowners policies treat termite damage as preventable maintenance, which is why ongoing protection costs far less than repairs.
Will bait stations stop drywood termites?
No. Baits target subterranean termites (Eastern and Formosan), which cause most of the damage in Northeast Florida. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself and need a different approach. If we find signs of drywood during your inspection, we'll tell you and recommend the right treatment.
I already have a termite contract with another company. Can I switch?
Yes. We'll inspect your home and your current setup, then give you a written price to take over protection with Trelona.
I just saw swarmers inside. What should I do?
Don't spray them. Collect a few in a bag or snap a photo, note where they came from, and call us. Swarmers inside usually mean an active colony nearby, and the inspection is free.
