Termite FAQ for Tampa

What is the current termite risk in Tampa?
Termite risk in Tampa is moderate with a score of 30/100. Warm, moist soil conditions drive subterranean termite activity.
Termite swarms in Tampa typically occur March through June, triggered by warm rain events when soil temperatures reach 65°F+. Swarmers are often the first visible sign of an infestation.
Signs include mud tubes along foundations, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows, and frass (termite droppings). Damage is often hidden — annual inspections are strongly recommended.
Termites cause billions in damage nationally each year. A typical Tampa home with an established termite colony can suffer $3,000-$8,000+ in damage before detection. Annual inspection costs $75-150 and is well worth it.
