Termite Treatment

Understanding Termite Infestations

Termites are one of the most destructive pests a homeowner can face. Catching an infestation early can make all the difference. Recognizing the signs of termites and local types of termites will help you take swift action to protect your home.

Common Signs of Termites in Your Home

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to schedule an inspection with our team right away. Our experts are trained to detect even subtle signs of termites, ensuring your home gets the protection it needs.

• Mud Tubes. These pencil-width tunnels often appear on foundation walls or crawl spaces, providing termites a protected path between their colony and a food source.
• Hollow-Sounding Wood. Termites eat wood from the inside out. If you tap on a wooden surface and it sounds hollow, termites might be inside.
• Discarded Wings. After swarming, termites shed their wings, often near doors, windows, or entry points. These small, transparent wings are a strong indicator of termite activity.

Types of Termites in South Carolina

Understanding which type of termite is present helps us choose the most effective treatment to protect your home and prevent further damage.

• Subterranean Termites. These termites build underground colonies and use mud tubes to reach wood sources. They’re known for their aggressive feeding habits and can cause extensive damage quickly.
• Dry Wood Termites. Unlike their subterranean counterparts, dry wood termites don’t need soil to thrive. They infest dry wood, often invading attics, wood frames, and furniture.
