Apopka is a beautiful place to live, big shady oaks, older homes full of character, peaceful streets tucked behind busy main roads, and backyards that stay warm long after sunset. But those same things that make Apopka feel like home also make it one of Central Florida’s hotspots for termites.
Most homeowners here know the moment of panic that happens when you tap a piece of wood and it sounds hollow, or when you notice a tiny mud tube along the foundation. It’s that sinking feeling in your stomach, “Please don’t let this be termites.”
At Dr. Jacks, we get it. Termite concerns feel heavy.
Step
1
We Start with a Thorough Inspection
Apopka homes have their own identities. Some are newer builds with tight seals, some are older houses with years of stories, and soft spots where termites love to slip in. During your free inspection, we slow down and pay attention to the details that homeowners often never see.
We check crawl spaces, the shaded side of the home, the places where rainwater settles after a storm, the framing around porches, and areas where old tree roots pull moisture toward the house.
We bring the tools, but more importantly, we bring the patience to look carefully. Our goal is simple: if termites are there, we’ll find them, and if they aren’t, you deserve to hear that with confidence.

A Treatment Plan That Fits Your Home
Every Apopka property has quirks, from the thick tree cover near Dream Lake to the high-moisture areas closer to Rock Springs. That means a one-size-fits-all termite treatment never works.
After we inspect, we sit down with you to talk through what’s happening. No pressure, no scare tactics, just real information. Then we build a plan that actually fits your home.
Your treatment may include:
• Liquid barriers that stop termites fast and keep them from coming back
• Bait systems designed to wipe out entire colonies, even the underground ones
• Spot treatments for areas where activity is fresh and contained
• Fumigation for deeper, more established infestations
Every method we use is safe for kids, pets, and the people you love. We treat your home with the same care we want for our own.

Full-Term Extermination with Follow-Through
After treatment begins, we stay with you until the problem is completely gone. We give you updates, we check in, and we make sure everything is working the way it should.
We know termite issues don’t just affect wood, they affect sleep, comfort, and peace of mind. We take that seriously.

Ongoing Termite Protection
Apopka’s climate makes yearly termite protection almost a necessity. The warm soil, frequent storms, and natural shade create the perfect environment for colonies to thrive.
We offer ongoing protection plans that include regular inspections, bait system upkeep, and preventative treatments, so you never have to wonder if termites are coming back.
Many homes here sit amid moisture-rich soil, surrounded by mature trees that cast shade all day. Termites love that. And because they work quietly, most homeowners don’t see the damage until it’s already spread behind walls and under flooring.
Our job is to stop that before it starts, or stop it fast if it’s already happening.
Apopka deals with Eastern Subterranean termites and, increasingly, Formosan termites. These species move quickly, hide well, and build massive underground colonies. Professional treatment isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
