Termite Control in Charlotte, NC

Protect My Home

Termites Are A Huge Threat To Your Property

Because of Charlotte'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 North 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 Charlotte homeowners, a professional termite protection plan isn't just an option—it's a necessity for maintaining property value.

Termite Questions & Answers

Does my homeowner’s insurance cover termite damage?

Generally, no. Most standard homeowner's insurance policies do not cover termite damage or treatment. This is why having a dedicated Palmetto Exterminators Termite Service Agreement is essential for financial protection.

What is the difference between your "Retreat-Only" and "Repair & Retreat" warranties?
  1. Retreat-Only Warranty: If termites are found, we will re-treat the area at no additional cost to you.
  2. Repair & Retreat Warranty: This is our highest level of protection. If termites return, we provide the re-treatment plus coverage for up to $250,000 in structural repairs. This plan includes a comprehensive initial treatment and a detailed annual inspection.
Which termite species are covered under your service agreement?

Our agreements specifically cover both Subterranean and the highly destructive Formosan termites, ensuring you are protected against the most common threats in the Carolinas.

What is a Termite Warranty?

Think of a Termite Warranty (often called a "termite bond") as specialized insurance for your home's structure. Since standard homeowners insurance rarely covers termite damage, a warranty from Palmetto Exterminators protects you from the high costs of treatment and repairs.

1. Repair & Retreat Warranty: Our highest level of protection. If termites return, we cover the cost of re-treatment plus up to $250,000 in structural damage repairs.

2. Retreat-Only Warranty: A budget-friendly option that covers the cost of additional treatments if termite activity is found, ensuring you never pay twice to solve the same problem

Great place for your termite needs. Our business with them only consisted of continuing a termite bond already established with previous owners. But their prices were so good, there wasn't much need for quotes from other companies. They always answered the phone during working hours, and they were always friendly.

One season we had problems with termites in our flower beds due to the mulch we were using- they came and sprayed for no extra cost (from our bond.) These beds were further from our house than our contract included and I know now they weren't obligated to do so for free. BUT THEY DID! It eased my mind to make me a happy customer!

They also sprayed my yard one year when TICKS were out of control!!! It cost me a fraction of what it would have cost me to buy the same product or a some similar product from Lowe's or home Depot. This was because I was their customer. Customer service is so important- and THIS COMPANY GETS IT!!! 5 STARS!

I have used Palmetto now for 4 or 5 years for termite and later expanded to mosquito treatment. They have done an excellent job for me. I find the personnel very professional, I like their uniforms, makes me feel safe when they come to the house, they inform us before they start the work (to protect the pets) and when they are done. Thank you.
