It’s your home: only the very best protection from termite damage will do.
Some termites are easy to find—and there are exterminators who would kill them and then consider the treatments finished. Not at Turner Pest Control! We locate and treat the current infestation and also protect potential termite entry points so they can’t get back in and cause problems.
With our Gainesville termite control, you can expect the following:
Termites are sneaky, stealthy creatures, invaders who feast on your home’s wooden structures. They’ll keep going, invisibly gnawing and creating more havoc with each bite—and seeing this damage may be the first sign you have of their presence. Ultimately, they can destroy a home.
When a termite infestation gets large enough, you may spot swarms. That said, just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean that you don’t have large numbers of termites in your Gainesville home. So, watch for shed wings or mud tubes that are located close to your house. If you try closing the mud tubes—and then they come back—odds are high that you have a termite infestation.
In Florida, two common types of termites exist: the Formosan termites and Eastern subterranean ones. In just one single Formosan colony, there could be more than one million members, and this species is quite aggressive. As far as the Eastern subterranean termites, here’s the good news. They’re less aggressive than their Formosan cousins. However, because they’re so incredibly prevalent that they can, in fact, cause even more damage than Formosans.
Plus, just because these are the most commonly found termite species in Florida doesn’t mean they’re the only ones. Numerous species gravitate to the area because of our state’s wet wood.
If you see just a few termites in your home, you don’t need to identify the species yourself. Contact us for a free termite inspection in Gainesville, FL—and don’t delay. Plenty more of them could be lurking, still unseen, with queens laying even more eggs.
Here’s how you will benefit from Turner’s Gainesville termite control. First, we’ll conduct a thorough termite inspection in your Gainesville, FL home, then:
We also offer a proactive termite prevention plan to protect your home.
At Turner, we strongly believe in stopping termite infestations before they can get settled into your Gainesville home. So, we treat the soil around the house along with places inside that can attract termites; this includes bath traps, pipe penetrations, and so forth.
Here’s the bottom line. Spot treatments won’t be enough for effective termite control in Gainesville. So, we provide the comprehensive treatments you need for full protection.
If your home has cracks, even ones as tiny as 1/32 of an inch, termites can slip right through them, slithering into your house. To protect you, we treat even the smallest of foundation cracks to deny termites entry. We also treat plumbing entry points, a vulnerable spot that many other exterminators overlook, as well as places where builders may have left behind wood forms after pouring concrete; the latter can provide the perfect place for termites to feast.
Another hiding spot for termites: room additions and above-slab patios where soil levels are higher. They create an ideal on-ramp to your home, including the wooden portions that attract and feed these critters. But, no worries. We’ll use termite treatments that destroy colonies in the soil—before they even get inside. Soil treatments work much more quickly than the bait system—in fact, ten times faster—which accelerates the destruction of their colonies.
Termite damage can be quite expensive, totalling in the thousands of dollars. To exterminate current colones and to keep new ones from settling in, we offer comprehensive termite control protection.

We offer economic Premise treatment, high-tech Termidor, and environmentally friendly Altriset

Moisture attracts termites, so reduce or get rid of it in your home. This includes lowering the humidity in attics and crawl spaces, diverting water from your home’s foundation by using gutters, and fixing leaks in faucets, pipes, and outdoor AC units. Wood also attracts termites, so remove roots and tree trunks near the home’s foundation plus wood stakes and old form boards near the house. If you believe your home has a termite presence, contact us online or call (352) 378-2433.
Licensed pest control professionals can use technology and products that people can’t on their own. In fact, homeowners shouldn’t attempt applying their own termite treatments. Fortunately, Turner has the trained team and the right experience to get the job done right.
