We specialize in both residential and commercial termite treatment across the Greater Tampa area, including fumigation for drywood termites, soil treatments for subterranean termites, and preventative services for new construction.
Termites are a year-round threat in Florida’s warm, humid climate. That’s why Pestex uses state-of-the-art techniques and proven products to eliminate infestations and prevent future damage—backed by licensed professionals and warranties up to 5 years.
Drywood Termite Fumigation in Tampa Bay
Drywood termites can silently destroy the structural wood inside your property. If left untreated, they can cause thousands in damage.
-
Service Type: Whole-home tent fumigation
-
Product Used: VIKANE® gas fumigant (sulfuryl fluoride)
-
Treatment Time: 4 days (including aeration and clearance)
-
Warranty: Up to 5 years for full fumigations
Our licensed technicians cover the entire structure with a gas-tight tent, then fill the interior with Vikane to reach every crack and crevice. This is the most effective treatment for drywood termites in Tampa homes and businesses.
✅ Safe and effective
✅ Eliminates all stages of termites
✅ Long-term protection with warranty
Subterranean Termite Treatments (Soil Injections)
Subterranean termites live underground and cause damage from the bottom up, often undetected until it’s too late. Our subterranean termite control services in Tampa Bay use advanced soil injection methods to create a long-lasting barrier around your structure.
-
Service Type: Soil trenching and injection treatment
-
Chemical Used: Termidor® (Fipronil)
-
Warranty: Up to 5 years for full treatments
Termidor is the gold standard in subterranean termite treatments—termites pass it to others in the colony, eliminating them completely.
✔️ Effective colony elimination
✔️ No odor, no repellent—termites don’t avoid it
✔️ Ideal for existing infestations or prevention
Tim-Bor® Injection Treatments (Localized Spot Treatment)
When termite activity is isolated to a specific area, we offer spot treatments using Tim-Bor. This eco-friendly borate product is ideal for limited infestations in accessible wood.
-
Service Type: Injection directly into affected wood
-
Product Used: Tim-Bor® (Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate)
-
Warranty: Not applicable for partial spot treatments
This is a great option for customers who need affordable termite control in Tampa without full fumigation.

🌿 Borate-based = low toxicity
