Never knew such a thing existed but got a notice from our Florida FDA
Termite Awareness Week is March 8-14, 2026. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), subterranean termites cause billions of dollars of damage annually in the United States and, in many cases, the damage they cause goes undetected in areas behind walls, in the crawlspace, or in the attic. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services recommends that you hire a licensed pest control company for annual inspections and subterranean termite soil treatments around your home. You can find out if a company is licensed in Florida at Licensed Pest Control Company Search. Even with home inspections and treatment by a licensed pest control company, you must do your part to reduce conditions that attract subterranean termites and thereby protect your home: • Reduce moisture: moisture is a top conducive condition for these termites and can include leaking exterior faucets and AC drain lines. • No termite food: keep plant materials, firewood, and mulch away from your home foundation. • No siding to soil contact: home siding material should not make direct contact with soil along foundation. • No cracks or leaks: repair cracks and leaks around your home and roof. • Light attraction: termite alates or swarmers will fly once a year to start new colonies and are attracted to light. Turn your exterior lights off between dusk and dawn or use a yellow bug light during this time. For more information and tips, please visit
