Professional Termite Control in Orlando, FL
Why Termites in Your Central Florida Home Are a Major Concern
Some pests make their presence visible, while others sneak in under the radar. Termites fall into the latter category, which is unfortunate because they are one of the most damaging pests to have in your Tampa area home. Termites eat tunnels through the wooden structures in your house, and if left alone for long enough, they can do serious damage. Protecting your home requires professional termite control. Green Flag Services can help.

When you choose Green Flag Services for your subterranean, Formosan, or drywood termite control, you’ll receive service backed by our $1 million repair and retreatment warranty. If you believe your home or a home you want to purchase is affected by termites or other wood-destroying organisms, call Green Flag Services, LLC today. Without a proper inspection, you might find yourself with a big problem and a large repair bill in the future.
Termites are more than just a regional problem. Across the United States, homeowners are impacted by termite infestations each day. Though the bugs are small, they can cause big concerns.
Understanding the Lifecycle of Termites
To effectively combat termite infestations, it's crucial to understand their lifecycle. Termites undergo several stages: egg, nymph, and adult. Each stage presents unique challenges and requires different treatment approaches. By familiarizing yourself with these stages, you can better recognize the signs of an infestation and take proactive measures to protect your home.
Here’s a brief overview of the termite lifecycle:
- Egg Stage: Termite eggs are tiny and often go unnoticed. A single queen can lay thousands of eggs in a year, leading to rapid population growth.
- Nymph Stage: After about two weeks, the eggs hatch into nymphs, which resemble small adults. They will molt several times before reaching maturity.
- Adult Stage: Once they mature, termites take on specific roles within the colony—workers, soldiers, or reproductive adults—each playing a vital role in the colony's survival.
Understanding this lifecycle not only helps in identifying infestations early but also aids our team at Green Flag Services in customizing the most effective treatment plan for your home. By addressing the problem at its source, we can ensure long-lasting protection against these destructive pests.
Preventative Measures: Safeguard Your Home from Termite Infestations
While effective termite control is essential for managing existing infestations, taking preventative measures is equally important to protect your home from future threats. At Green Flag Services, we believe that education and proactive strategies are key to maintaining a termite-free environment. Here are some practical steps you can take to minimize the risk of termite invasion:
- Regular Inspections: Schedule annual inspections with our certified pest control experts to identify any signs of termite activity early on.
- Moisture Control: Keep your home dry by fixing leaks and ensuring proper drainage around your foundation, as termites are attracted to moisture.
- Proper Landscaping: Maintain a safe distance between wood mulch and your home’s foundation, and avoid planting trees or shrubs that can provide easy access for termites.
- Wood Treatment: Consider using treated wood for construction and repairs, which can help deter termites from nesting in your home.
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect and seal any cracks or gaps in your home's exterior, including around windows, doors, and utility lines, to prevent termites from entering.
By following these preventative measures and partnering with Green Flag Services for regular inspections, you can significantly reduce the risk of termite infestations and protect your investment for years to come. Contact us today to learn more about our preventative termite control strategies!

Home Treatment & Protection
Using scientific information about termite behavior, the Sentricon® system ends the food chain needed by the queen and her colony for survival. With the proven power to wipe out future house-hungry termite generations, Sentricon gives you complete termite protection.
Starting now. Take no prisoners. Using scientifically engineered bait to naturally enter their food chain, the queen and her entire colony are decimated. For good, and it begins working immediately if visible, active termites feed on the bait found in our Recruit®AG (above-ground) bait stations.
Two things termites hate: Sentricon and Alaska. Unless you live in Alaska, termites are underfoot. In fact, an average of 5 million U.S. homes each are infested by termites each year. Don’t expect your homeowner’s insurance to cover damages. To them, it’s something you could and should have prevented.
Our specialists aren’t just trained, they’re certified.
Termites are too big of a threat for hit-or-miss, do-it-yourself attempts to protect your biggest investment. Our Certified Sentricon Specialists™ must pass intensive training on the installation and maintenance of complete home protection. Twenty years and 4+ million homes later, your peace of mind remains uncompromised.
Science trumps termites. The science behind Sentricon leaves termites helpless because they can’t tell the active ingredient is lethal. And in lab tests when given the choice, termites ate nearly 10 times more bait than wood.
Fumigation
If you have a drywood termite infestation, we perform fumigation treatments to eliminate them. We will tent your entire structure and fumigate it. These treatments work in just one day.
Wood-Destroying Organism Reports
If you are in the process of buying or selling a home, your lender may require a Wood Destroying Organism Report. Green Flag Services offers this service. We will inspect the house, write up the report, and file it with the appropriate parties.
Scary Termite Facts
Here are three statistics that illustrate just how bad termites can be:
- U.S. homeowners spend an estimated $5 billion on termite control and termite-related repairs.
- Termite damage affects an estimated 600,000 homes in the U.S. each year.
- The average homeowner will spend $3,000 to repair damage caused by termites.
