Expert Termite Treatment & Control

Termites are one of the most destructive pests a homeowner can face. In South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, they're a year-round threat. Our mild climate and high humidity make the Southeast one of the most termite-active regions in the country. Unlike pests you can see, termites work silently inside your home's structure. They can be active for months, or even years, before any damage becomes visible. By the time most homeowners notice a problem, the repair bills are already adding up.

That's why Terminix Service, Inc. takes a proactive approach. We don't just treat termite infestations after the fact. We provide ongoing protection that keeps your home defended around the clock.

Signs You May Have a Termite Problem

Termites are hard to spot, but they do leave clues. Termites include several species, and the warning signs can vary but these are the most common ones to watch for:

Mud tubes – pencil-thin tunnels along your foundation or crawlspace that subterranean termites use to travel
Hollow-sounding wood – tap on baseboards or door frames and listen for a papery, hollow sound
Swarmer activity – winged termites emerging indoors, especially in spring, signal an established colony nearby
Frass – small piles of wood-colored droppings near baseboards or windowsills
Blistering or bubbling paint – often mistaken for water damage, this can mean termite activity is happening beneath the surface

Seeing any of these signs? Don't wait. Termite damage gets worse the longer a colony stays active.

How We Treat Termites

When it comes to treating termite activity in your home, Terminix Service, Inc. uses the Sentricon® System with Always Active™ technology. It's one of the most effective termite baiting solutions available today.

Traditional liquid barrier treatments create a chemical perimeter around your home. Sentricon® works differently. It uses bait stations placed in the ground around your property. Worker termites find the bait, consume it, and carry it back to the colony and thus eliminate termites at the source, including the queen. Always Active technology means the system works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are no gaps in protection.

Sentricon® is trusted by pest management professionals across the country including our team at Terminix Service, Inc.

Termite Prevention Tips

The best defense against termites is a preventative one. Here are some prevention measures you can take to make your home less attractive to termite colonies:

Divert water away from your foundation as subterranean termites are drawn to moisture
Keep gutters clean to prevent water buildup near the roofline
Maintain at least 18 inches between wood parts of your home and the soil
Remove old tree stumps, dead roots, and wood debris from your yard
Keep crawlspace vents clear to reduce humidity buildup

In the Southeast, mild winters mean termites stay active longer than in most parts of the country. Year-round protection isn't optional here, it's essential.

Termite Control FAQs

What are the signs of a termite infestation?

Common warning signs include mud tubes along your foundation, hollow-sounding wood, swarmer activity indoors, frass near baseboards, and blistering paint not caused by moisture.

What is the best termite treatment?

For homes in SC, NC, and GA, Terminix Service, Inc. recommends the Sentricon® System with Always Active™ technology: a termite baiting system that eliminates colonies at the source and provides year-round protection.

Can I get rid of termites myself?

DIY options rarely provide lasting results. Termites are difficult to fully eliminate without professional tools and a deep understanding of termite colonies and their behavior.

How much does termite treatment cost?

Cost depends on your home's size, the level of termite activity, and the recommended treatment plan. Terminix Service, Inc. offers free inspections so you know exactly what you're dealing with before committing.

How often should I have my home inspected for termites?

Annual inspections are recommended, especially in the Southeast where termite activity stays high year-round. Homes under a Sentricon® plan receive regular monitoring as part of their service.

Is termite treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes. The Sentricon® baiting system is designed to target termites specifically. Your technician will explain what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

What makes subterranean termites so dangerous in the South?

Subterranean termites are the most destructive species in the country. The Southeast's warm, humid climate lets them stay active nearly year-round, often causing significant structural damage before they're ever detected.

What is the Sentricon System?

Sentricon is a termite baiting system that targets colonies directly. Worker termites find the bait stations, consume the active ingredient, and share it with the colony. This eliminates termites from the inside out, including the queen.
