Termites Are A Huge Threat To Your Property
Termite protection is fundamentally about asset preservation. Unlike other pests that are merely nuisances or health hazards, Eastern Subterranean Termite actively consumes the structural integrity of a building.
Why Termite Protection
Is A Must
Each year, termites cause an estimated $6.8 billion in property damage in the United States alone. Because these relentless pests never sleep, hibernate, or take a day off, they consume wood 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, a mature colony can eat an entire pound of wood in a single day, putting your home's support beams, floor joists, and wall studs at constant risk.

Termite Control Questions
Answered
How can I tell the difference between a flying ant and a termite swarmer?
This is a common point of confusion! You can distinguish them by looking at three key features:
Antennae: Termites have straight, "beady" antennae; ants have elbowed (bent) antennae.
Waist: Termites have a broad, uniform waist; ants have a thin, pinched "wasp" waist.
Wings: Termite wings are all equal in length and shed easily; ant wings have larger front wings and smaller hind wings.
Can I treat for termites myself using store-bought products?
While DIY is an option, it is rarely effective for termites. Professionals have the training to identify specific species and understand their biology. Improperly applied products can actually cause a colony to "split" and move to a different part of your home. Palmetto Exterminators uses specialized equipment and commercial-grade products that are not available to the general public.
How long is my CL-100 report (Termite Letter) valid?
A CL-100 is an official state report required for most home closings.
Is a Termite Letter the same thing as a Warranty?
Think of the difference between a single photo and a security system. A CL-100 is simply a "snapshot" that shows the home's condition at one specific moment in time—it doesn't protect you against what might happen tomorrow.
In contrast, a Termite Warranty is a long-term defense plan that works like an insurance policy. It provides ongoing security through annual professional inspections, and if termites ever do appear, we handle the treatment and repairs at no additional cost to you.
