Termite Control in Lake Buena Vista, FL
Termites are a major threat to homes throughout the Lake Buena Vista area. With constant warmth, elevated humidity from nearby lakes, wet sandy soils, and frequent storms, subterranean termites can feed quietly inside structural wood for years before any signs appear. By the time you spot swarmers, mud tubes, or hollow-sounding wood, a colony may have already caused significant—and expensive—damage.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control is a local, family-owned company with decades of experience handling the aggressive termite activity found throughout Central Florida’s resort-area neighborhoods. Our termite services are built specifically for Florida construction styles and moisture conditions, with family- and pet-conscious treatment methods ranging from soil barriers to wall-void applications and full-structure fumigation when appropriate. Every solution is designed to protect your home while keeping your household safe and comfortable.
This page outlines Gato’s termite inspection process, treatment options, fumigation services, and long-term termite protection programs for Lake Buena Vista and nearby communities—helping stop active colonies and prevent future infestations.
Why Lake Buena Vista Homeowners Choose Gato for Termite Control
In Central Florida, termite protection is essential—not optional. Homes near lakes, conservation areas, and heavily irrigated neighborhoods are especially vulnerable.
Lake Buena Vista homeowners choose Gato because we offer:
Local expertise
We work throughout the Lake Buena Vista, Dr. Phillips, Celebration, and Disney-area communities daily. We understand how termites behave in moisture-rich soils, how lake proximity accelerates activity, and where local structures are most at risk.
Family- and pet-conscious treatment options
We design plans with your household in mind, using proven products, precise application techniques, and clear instructions for preparation and re-entry so you feel confident about how your home is being protected.
A full range of termite treatment methods
From foundation and soil treatments to targeted interior applications and whole-home fumigation for severe infestations, we choose the method that best fits your home’s construction and termite pressure.
Custom protection plans
No two homes in Lake Buena Vista face the same conditions. We inspect your property, note construction details, evaluate moisture and soil factors, and build a tailored plan around your home’s needs.
Consistent, long-term service
We provide initial treatments, annual monitoring, and ongoing inspections to ensure your property remains protected—not just temporarily relieved of activity.
Lake Buena Vista Termite Control Services
Your home is one of your largest investments, and termites can undermine it from the inside long before you notice symptoms. Gato’s termite services are built for the specific demands of lake-adjacent and resort-area neighborhoods.
Termite Inspections
A thorough inspection is the foundation of effective termite control.
Our inspections typically include:
- Examining interior and exterior walls, trim, and baseboards
- Inspecting slab edges, foundation areas, crawlspaces (if accessible), and support piers
- Checking for mud tubes, wood damage, moisture problems, and conducive conditions
- Evaluating attached structures such as garages, lanais, patios, screened enclosures, and decks
We also perform inspections for real estate transactions and can provide Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) reports when needed.
Termite Treatment & Colony Elimination
If we discover active termites or high-risk conditions, we design a treatment plan aimed at eliminating colonies and providing long-term protection.
Depending on your home, treatment may include:
- Perimeter trenching and drilling to create a continuous treated soil zone
- Targeted interior or wall-void applications where termites are actively feeding
- Structural and soil treatments in high-risk entry sites such as plumbing penetrations and expansion joints
Our focus is on establishing a durable, complete barrier that termites cannot bypass.
Whole-Home Fumigation (When Necessary)
For severe, widespread, or concealed termite infestations—especially in multi-story or complex structures—Gato offers full-structure fumigation.
Fumigation allows us to:
- Treat the entire enclosed structure, including areas you can’t see or access
- Reach termite galleries inside walls, ceilings, attics, and hidden voids
- Eliminate colonies that spot treatments may leave behind
We guide you through preparation, temporary relocation, and re-entry so the process is smooth and predictable.
Termite Protection & Monitoring
Termites remain active all year in Lake Buena Vista, making ongoing monitoring just as important as initial treatment.
Our long-term protection programs may include:
- Scheduled follow-up inspections to confirm treatment success
- Monitoring for new activity or conducive conditions
- Renewable protection plans that maintain coverage year after year
- Recommendations to reduce moisture and wood-to-ground contact around your home
The goal is simple: eliminate today’s termites and prevent tomorrow’s colonies from becoming a threat.

Lake Buena Vista Termite Control FAQs
Why can’t I just wait until I see termites before getting treatment?
In Lake Buena Vista, subterranean termites stay active all year thanks to warm temperatures, lake moisture, irrigation runoff, and sandy soil. By the time you see swarmers, mud tubes, or damaged wood, a colony has usually been feeding inside your home for months—or even years. Proactive protection creates a barrier before termites reach your structure, preventing costly repairs and major structural damage.
How soon will I notice improvement after my first termite treatment?
Visible signs of activity—such as fresh mud tubes or active swarming—typically begin to decline within several weeks. However, the real goal is eliminating the colony and establishing a long-lasting protective zone around your home. Follow-up inspections confirm that the treatment is working and ensure termites do not find alternative entry points.
Is termite treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Gato uses family- and pet-conscious termite solutions that focus on targeted applications in soil zones, structural voids, and foundation areas—rather than broad indoor spraying. Technicians follow all manufacturer guidelines and clearly explain safety steps, including when treated areas can be re-entered. If you have infants, pets, or special health concerns, your plan can be adjusted accordingly.
Do you provide termite services throughout the Lake Buena Vista area?
Absolutely. We protect homes in Lake Buena Vista and surrounding communities, including Dr. Phillips, Celebration, Hunters Creek, Buena Ventura Lakes, Orlando resort-area neighborhoods, and other nearby Central Florida locations. If you’re in or near Lake Buena Vista, we likely already serve properties close to yours.
Do you offer more than just termite elimination?
Yes. In addition to colony elimination, we provide:
- Full termite inspections
- Real estate and WDO reports
- Soil and structural treatments
- Whole-structure fumigation (when needed)
- Ongoing protection programs with annual monitoring
Our goal is long-term defense—removing current colonies and preventing new ones from moving into your home.
How can I keep termites from returning after treatment?
Your technician will provide customized recommendations, which may include improving drainage, repairing wood-to-ground contact, reducing excess mulch, and monitoring moisture-prone areas. Combined with ongoing inspections, these steps help keep your home protected in Lake Buena Vista’s year-round termite environment.
