Termite Threats in Fontainebleau
Formosan subterranean termites entered South Florida through port activity and are now established throughout Miami-Dade County. A mature Formosan colony — up to 10 million workers — can consume a pound of wood per day and cause structural damage in as little as 18 months. Drywood termites infest wood independently of soil, targeting roof framing, furniture, and wood trim. Both species are active year-round in Fontainebleau's climate.

Fontainebleau Pest Questions
What pests are common in Fontainebleau's residential neighborhoods?
Fontainebleau is a densely populated unincorporated community with a mix of single-family homes and apartment complexes. Ghost ants, German cockroaches, and roof rats are the most common pest complaints. The area's many apartment communities see elevated bed bug activity. Subterranean termites are also active throughout the neighborhood's aging housing stock.
How do I control ghost ants in my Fontainebleau apartment or home?
Ghost ants are the number one pest complaint in Fontainebleau's dense residential communities. They enter through the smallest cracks around windows, doors, and plumbing penetrations. In apartment buildings, they travel freely between units. Professional gel baiting along foraging trails and perimeter treatment are essential — over-the-counter sprays cause colony splitting and make the problem worse.
Are termites a risk in Fontainebleau?
Yes. Fontainebleau's housing stock includes many structures built in the 1960s–1980s with wood framing that is now aging and more vulnerable to both drywood and subterranean termites. The area's high humidity accelerates termite activity. We recommend annual termite inspections and a preventative baiting or liquid barrier treatment program.
