I have asked around with the FL locals and with TV residents who have been here for years......no one has ever seen any termites......fire ants, yes, but termites, no. Block/stucco homes and villas only have wood from rafters up, not on ground floor. Home Depot has bags of diatomaceous earth that slices any exoskeleton of an insect that crawls across the powder and then they die from dehydration. Some farmer locals just pour used car/tractor oil close up/around the exterior of the foundations of their barns to keep any possible termites away, but even none of them that I spoken with have had termites. Anyone else actually have real info other than what is marketed to us at TV from those who want to repeatedly sell you a product?
