Termite Threats in Florence

🏠

Eastern Subterranean Termites

The dominant species in the Pee Dee. Colonies number in the hundreds of thousands and can consume wood 24/7. They build mud tubes from soil to reach wood above ground, attacking your home from below.

⚠️

Formosan Subterranean Termites

An aggressive invasive species spreading through South Carolina. Their colonies are much larger—millions of individuals—and they damage structures faster than native species. Increasingly found in Florence County.

Critical fact: Homeowner's insurance does not cover termite damage. In South Carolina, it's not a matter of IF termites will find your home—it's WHEN.

Our Termite Treatment Process

Comprehensive Inspection

We examine your entire property—foundation, crawl space, basement, sill plates, and wood structures. We look for mud tubes, damaged wood, moisture issues, and conditions that attract termites. You receive a detailed written report.

Soil Treatment

We apply termiticide to the soil around and beneath your foundation, creating a continuous treated zone. Termites passing through this barrier are eliminated, protecting your home for years.

Monitoring Program

In-ground monitoring stations around your perimeter detect termite activity early. Regular inspections ensure your protection stays effective. We catch new infestations before damage occurs.

Termite Warning Signs

Mud tubes — Thin tunnels running up foundation walls, piers, or along plumbing and wires
Swarmer activity — Winged termites emerging indoors, usually in spring after rain
Discarded wings — Small translucent wings piled near windows, doors, or light sources
Damaged wood — Wood that sounds hollow, crumbles easily, or shows maze-like patterns
Buckling floors — Flooring that warps or feels spongy underfoot
Blistered paint — Paint bubbling due to moisture from termite activity in walls

Termite Questions

How long does a termite treatment last?

Liquid soil treatments provide protection for many years when applied correctly. Annual inspections verify the barrier remains effective. Monitoring stations provide ongoing detection indefinitely with regular service.

Do I need to leave during treatment?

Generally no. Most treatment is applied to soil around your exterior foundation. You can remain home during the process. We'll explain any specific precautions if interior treatment is needed.

I found wings on my windowsill—what now?

Discarded wings indoors indicate a mature termite colony nearby—possibly inside your walls. Swarmers are reproductives starting new colonies. Contact us immediately for inspection. Time matters with termites.

What's the difference between treatment and monitoring?

Treatment creates a chemical barrier that kills termites trying to reach your home. Monitoring uses stations to detect activity so we can respond quickly. Many homes benefit from both approaches together.
