Types of Termites in North Carolina and South Carolina

There are over 2,000 different species of termites in the world. Luckily, there are only two types that are common in the Carolinas: Eastern subterranean termites and Formosan termites. Each species requires different treatments, so we tailor our approach based on species we find in your home.

Eastern Subterranean Termites

Eastern subterranean termites make their colonies underground and can contain hundreds of thousands of insects. These pests have to stay moist, otherwise their bodies will dry out and they’ll die. If they live above ground, subterranean termites create distinctive mud tubes to protect themselves from the open air. They also never sleep, allowing them to constantly eat away at your home and quickly cause significant damage.

Formosan Termites

Formosan termites are also a type of subterranean termites, however, they are more destructive and aggressive than the Eastern subterranean termites. Formosan colonies are substantially larger with several million termites. These high numbers allow them to destroy structures even faster than other species. Their colonies are both above and below ground, making them especially tricky to eliminate.

Signs of a Termite Infestation in Your Home

Termite infestations are so devastating because they’re difficult to identify—you’ll likely never see actual termites unless you catch them while they’re swarming in the spring. Because of this, most people don’t realize they have a problem until their home is already damaged. To help protect your home, look out for these warning signs:

• Discarded wings: After termites swarm, they lose their wings. This results in piles of them that are often near windows and doors.
• Buckling floors: Damage to the subfloor and structural supports of your home can cause buckling, uneven, and squeaky floors.
• Hollow-sounding wood: Termites often eat the middle of wooden structures, leaving behind a shell that looks like normal wood but sounds hollow when tapped.
• Peeling paint: Termites introduce excess moisture behind your walls, which causes peeling paint that looks similar to water damage.
• Mud tubes: These thin, cylindrical tubes act like highways that allow termites to travel from the ground to your home. They’re often found on the foundation.

If you notice any of these signs, call us at 910-254-9443 right away to schedule a termite inspection. One of our termite exterminators will inspect your home to confirm the presence of termites and then create a custom treatment plan to eliminate them.

Why You Need Professional Termite Control

When termites invade your home, the damage they cause can be severe and expensive to repair. That’s why termite control is so important. An infestation needs to be handled quickly and professionally in order to prevent further problems from occurring.

Professional termite specialists have the experience and knowledge needed to identify the pest and put a termite control plan in place. These experts can advise you on the best termite extermination methods to ensure that they are eliminated from your home and prevent further activity.

DIY termite treatments are available, but they’re often not as effective as professional termite control solutions. We do not recommend using DIY methods on an infestation. Professional termite treatments are designed to target termites specifically and eliminate them from your home in the most efficient manner possible.

If termites have invaded your home, contact a professional termite treatment specialist right away for an inspection.
