Captain Termite
Captain Termite is a pest control company at 5805 SW 21st St, serving Hollywood, Florida and the surrounding South Florida communities. It is a family operated business, locally owned and operated, committed to professional, prompt and friendly service, with over 20 years of experience and knowledge in termite and pest control treatments. The company works with both residential and commercial clients, evaluating each problem first and then recommending the treatment that fits the property rather than applying one standard plan. Its stated goal is not just to solve today's problem but to prevent upcoming infestations. General pest control begins with a thorough inspection of the home or business, after which the technician recommends either a treatment or a preventative program. The pests handled include termites, rodents, bed bugs, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, spiders, fleas and ticks, and birds, mites and bees, and lawn service covers all lawn pests along with lawn treatment for pest prevention. Termite work is the specialty the company is named for. Certified technicians treat subterranean, dry wood and Formosan termites, and services run from inspections through treatment to long term prevention. Treatment options include liquid termiticide applied to the soil as a barrier, termite baiting systems that carry a slow acting insecticide back to the colony, and termite tenting, the whole structure fumigation method used for severe dry wood termite infestations. No-tent options are available when tenting is not necessary or not preferred. Commercial work spans food service, hospitality, retail and offices, healthcare, education and industrial properties. Throughout, Captain Termite strives to use the least toxic yet most effective product on the market, describing itself as pet and eco friendly and using environmentally friendly methods that minimize the impact on family and pets. Free, no-obligation estimates are offered, the work carries a satisfaction guarantee, and payment is accepted by cash and check.

FAQs
What pests does Captain Termite treat?
Captain Termite handles a wide range of pests including termites, ants, rodents, mosquitoes, bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, fleas and ticks, and birds, mites and bees. Lawn service covers all lawn pests, plus lawn treatment for pest prevention. Services are offered for both residential and commercial properties.
How do I know if I have a termite infestation?
Identifying termites can be challenging because they stay hidden. Watch for mud tubes running along foundations or walls, wood damage such as small holes, a hollow sound when you tap wood, or sawdust-like frass, swarming winged termites near doors and windows in spring or after rainstorms, and discarded wings near entry points. If you suspect termites, contact Captain Termite for a thorough inspection and a customized treatment plan.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Captain Termite offers free estimates for its pest control services, and free, no-obligation estimates for all of its termite control services, including a free termite inspection. Call (954) 391-1726 and the team will assess what your property needs and give you a transparent quote.
Are your treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Captain Termite uses environmentally friendly and pet-friendly solutions and strives to use the least toxic yet most effective product on the market. Products used are approved for use in homes and businesses, technicians follow strict safety protocols, and precautions are taken to protect your household. If you have specific concerns about pets and a termite treatment, the team will discuss them with you first.
What is termite tenting, and do I need it?
Termite tenting, also called fumigation, encloses the structure in a tent and introduces a fumigant to eradicate dry wood termites. It is the option for severe infestations or whole structure treatment. If tenting is not necessary or not preferred, Captain Termite offers no-tent termite control instead, using liquid termiticide soil barriers and termite baiting systems for subterranean termites. A technician assesses your situation and recommends the best fit.
How often should I have my property inspected or treated?
For termites, an annual inspection is generally recommended, especially in an area with termite activity like Hollywood, Florida, because early detection prevents extensive damage. For general pest control, treatment frequency depends on the type of pest, how severe the infestation is, and where the property sits, so Captain Termite recommends scheduling regular inspections and treatments to keep infestations from taking hold.
How do I book, and how do I pay?
