Termites cause billions in property damage nationwide each year, and Florida homeowners face some of the highest risk. Nicknamed the “silent destroyers,” they work hidden from view, weakening your home’s structure from the inside out.
Skyterra Lawn & Pest has provided reliable termite control throughout Mount Dora and Lake County for over 20 years, eliminating active infestations and providing long-lasting protection.
Protecting Homes. Perfecting Lawns.
Florida’s warm, humid climate creates the perfect environment for termite activity year-round. Unlike northern states where cold winters slow termite reproduction, Central Florida’s consistently mild temperatures allow these destructive pests to remain active throughout all seasons.
According to Florida’s Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, termites cause more structural damage than fires, floods, and storms combined in our state. That’s a staggering statistic, and it highlights why professional termite treatment is so crucial.
Skyterra serves Mount Dora and the surrounding Lake County communities, some of the state’s most active termite zones, where both subterranean and drywood species thrive. The combination of sandy soil, wooden structures, and humidity creates ideal conditions for termites to thrive. That’s why pest control solutions that include termite prevention are essential for every property owner in the area.
Central Florida faces two destructive termite species: subterranean termites that travel through the soil, and drywood termites that live directly inside the wood they consume. Because they behave so differently, they call for different treatment approaches. We match the right one to your property, whether that’s a protective soil barrier, targeted wood injections, or whole-home fumigation for severe cases.
A soil-applied liquid barrier that stops termites before they reach your home’s wooden structures, providing protection for up to 10 years.
Targeted inspections and precision wood injections that eliminate drywood colonies nesting directly inside your home’s wood.
Whole-home fumigation for severe or widespread infestations that traditional treatments can’t fully reach.
No guessing, no surprises. Here’s exactly what to expect.
A licensed technician assesses your property’s risk factors and checks for existing termite activity, including subterranean and drywood species.
Subterranean treatments provide barrier protection for up to 10 years, with regular inspections to confirm your protection stays effective.

Common signs include hollow-sounding wood when tapped, discarded termite wings near windows or doors, mud tubes along foundations, or tiny wood-colored droppings. A professional inspection can confirm active activity and identify the species involved.
Subterranean termite treatments use a soil-applied liquid barrier that reaches your home’s foundation footer, providing continuous protection for up to 10 years when properly applied. Regular annual inspections help ensure your barrier stays effective and catch any new activity early.
No. Fumigation is only recommended when infestations are widespread throughout the structure or located in areas that are difficult to reach with targeted treatment. When it is necessary, the entire home is enclosed in a specialized tent so fumigant gas can penetrate walls, attics, and other hidden spaces where colonies may be hiding. Many drywood termite problems, though, can be effectively treated with precision liquid injections directly into the affected wood instead.
Yes. Treatments are applied by licensed professionals following strict safety guidelines. Once treatments are complete and areas properly ventilated, your home is safe for family and pets.
Subterranean termites nest underground and travel into your home through soil contact, so treatment focuses on a soil barrier around the foundation. Drywood termites don’t require soil contact at all. They live directly inside the wood they consume, which means they can establish colonies in attics, furniture, trim, and other wood components anywhere on the property, so treatment is targeted wood injections rather than a perimeter barrier.
