New Homes Are NOT Immune to Termites
Buying a new home in Orlando is exciting — new paint, new floors, and a fresh start. But one major risk many new homeowners overlook is termite activity.
Many people assume that because a home is newly built, it is automatically protected. Unfortunately, termites don’t care how new your home is. In fact, new construction can sometimes make properties more attractive to subterranean termites.
Soil disturbance, construction moisture, and buried wood debris left after building can create perfect termite conditions around new foundations.
Research from the University of Florida shows that termites frequently invade newly built homes within the first year if proper preventative protection is not installed or maintained.

Waiting until you see termite damage is risky — because termites often cause damage long before homeowners notice visible signs.
Why New Homeowners Should Install Protection Immediately
Builder-installed termite treatments are helpful, but they are not always permanent protection. Many homeowners don’t realize:
- Pre-construction treatments can weaken over time
- Landscaping and irrigation can disrupt soil treatments
- Barrier gaps can form around foundations
- Warranty renewals may only include inspections
Florida’s climate allows termite activity year-round, not just during certain seasons.
That’s why early protection is critical — especially during your first year of homeownership.
What True Termite Protection Looks Like
Real termite protection means creating a defensive barrier between your home and termite colonies underground.
At LydyBug Pest Control, we install professional trench and liquid termite treatments designed to:
✔ Create a continuous treated soil barrier
✔ Kill termites on contact
✔ Block hidden underground entry points
✔ Protect structural wood
✔ Provide long-term monitoring
This liquid barrier system surrounds your foundation and helps stop termites before they reach your structure.
Why Preventative Termite Protection Saves Money
Most homeowner insurance policies do not cover termite damage. Structural repairs can cost thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars.
Preventative termite treatment helps you:
- Protect your property value
- Avoid hidden structural damage
- Prevent costly future repairs
- Maintain peace of mind
New homeowners benefit most from early protection because it stops problems before they ever start.
