Maitland has a charm that’s hard to put into words, tree canopies over quiet streets, older homes full of character, lakes that reflect the sunset, and neighborhoods where people take pride in the details. Whether you’re near Lake Lily, Dommerich, or tucked into one of the shady streets closer to Winter Park, homes here have that warm, established feel.
But the same things that make Maitland so beautiful, the mature trees, the thick shade, the historic homes, the humidity off the lakes, also create perfect hiding spots for termites. They can slip inside long before you ever see them. Maybe it starts as a soft bit of trim, a little blister in the paint, or a section of wall that just feels “off.” And once you notice it, it’s hard not to worry.
At Dr. Jacks, we understand that Maitland homes aren’t just structures, they’re places filled with history, personality, and years of care.
Step
1
We Start with a Slow, Careful, Local-Focused Inspection
Maitland’s older neighborhoods, lakeside homes, and deeply shaded lots mean termites have many quiet entry points. During your free inspection, we take our time, checking the spots most homeowners never think about: crawlspaces, trim near damp soil, older wood framing, attic beams, porch posts, and anywhere moisture settles after a storm.
We use moisture meters, infrared tools, and decades of Florida experience. But more importantly, we explain everything in a calm, clear way that homeowners find reassuring, not overwhelming.

A Treatment Plan Designed for Maitland’s Unique Homes
A Maitland home is rarely a cookie-cutter build. Many are historic or renovated, with mixed woods, older foundations, and landscaping that wraps closely around the structure. Some sit near lakes where humidity hangs in the air all year.
After the inspection, we create a treatment plan that fits your home’s design, age, and environment.
Your plan may include:
• Liquid soil treatments that quickly stop active termites
• Baiting systems placed discreetly around shaded or landscaped areas
• Spot treatments for early or localized activity
• Fumigation for widespread or deep infestations
All solutions are safe for families, pets, and older home materials.

Full-Term Removal with Real Follow-Up
Termites cause stress because the damage is hidden. We understand that. Once treatment begins, we stay connected, checking progress, revisiting key areas, and making sure everything feels stable again.
Maitland homeowners often tell us how much they appreciate having a team that communicates like a neighbor, not a salesperson.

Ongoing Termite Protection
Clermont’s humidity, lakes, and warm temperatures mean termites never really go dormant. To keep your home protected long-term, we offer monitoring plans, annual inspections, bait system maintenance, and preventative treatments that adapt to Clermont’s conditions year-round.
Many Maitland homes were built decades ago using materials that termites love, and time and humidity only make that wood more appealing. Without early detection, termites can work quietly behind walls for months or even years.
Eastern Subterranean termites are common here, and Formosan termites have been found in nearby areas. Both can cause significant damage if not treated early.
