Termite Threats in Kendale Lakes
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.

Kendale Lakes Pest Questions
What are the most common pest problems in Kendale Lakes?
Kendale Lakes homeowners most frequently report ghost ant infestations, roof rats nesting in attic spaces and fruit trees, subterranean termite activity, and mosquito problems near the community's lake systems. The area's 1970s-1980s construction makes drywood termites in aging wood framing a significant concern as well.
How do I protect my Kendale Lakes home from subterranean termites?
Kendale Lakes is in Miami-Dade's highest termite pressure zone. For homes without an active termite protection program, we recommend installing a Sentricon baiting system, which provides ongoing monitoring and colony elimination without perimeter soil disruption. Older homes with wood framing should also receive an annual WDO inspection.
Are mosquitoes a problem near Kendale Lakes' lake system?
Kendale Lakes' extensive network of community lakes creates year-round mosquito breeding habitat. During the May–October wet season, mosquito pressure can be severe for lakefront properties. Bi-weekly or monthly perimeter barrier spray programs are recommended. Larvicide treatments for any standing water on your property (bird baths, planters, gutters) are essential to reduce breeding near the home.
