Termite Control in Bluffton
Get Protected Now!
Termites Are A Huge Threat To Your Property
Bluffton's high humidity, sandy soil, and proximity to the ocean make it the perfect place for termites to thrive. While many homes deal with Eastern Subterranean Termites, our area also faces Formosan termites. These are often called "super termites" because they can destroy a house very quickly.
Why Termite Protection
Is Essential
Termites cause $6.8 billion of dollars in structural damage annually, and homeowners' insurance rarely covers the cost of termite damage repairs. Here is why locals prioritize termite protection:
Formosan Termite Pressure: These aggressive colonies are highly prevalent in coastal and near-coastal South Carolina.
Ideal Climate: Mild winters and heavy humidity mean termites remain active and destructive 365 days a year.
Costly Consequences: Repairing termite damage can cost thousands of dollars, far exceeding the cost of preventative protection.
Hidden Damage: Termites often work from the inside out, meaning your home could be under attack long before you see a single sign. For Bluffton homeowners, a professional termite protection plan isn't just an option—it's a necessity for maintaining property value.

Ridgeland Termite Control Questions
Answered
Do homes in Bluffton really need termite protection?
Absolutely. Bluffton is located in a high-activity zone for termites. Given our climate, it is a matter of when, not if, termites will attempt to enter a structure without a professional barrier and warranty in place.
What makes Formosan termites different?
Formosan termites are significantly more aggressive and maintain much larger colonies than standard Eastern subterranean termites. Because they can consume wood at a much faster rate, professional protection is vital for properties in the Ridgeland area.

Yes. Both our Retreat-Only and our Repair & Retreat warranties include comprehensive coverage for both Formosan and Eastern subterranean termites.
Are termite letters required for real estate closings in South Carolina?
