Protect Your Summerville Home with Palmetto Exterminators

Summerville's warm, humid climate doesn't just grow azaleas—it also creates the perfect environment for termites. Both Eastern subterranean termites and Formosan termites thrive here, putting homes across Summerville, Cane Bay, Nexton, and surrounding neighborhoods at risk. These pests work silently behind walls and under floors, often causing thousands of dollars in damage before anyone notices.

For over 60 years, Palmetto Exterminators has been helping Summerville families protect their homes from termites. From annual inspections to termite warranties and real estate reports, their team knows what it takes to stop termites before they become a costly problem.

Why Termite Protection Matters in Summerville

• Termites cause more than $6.8 billion in damage every year across the U.S.

• Over 600,000 homes and businesses are infested annually.

• The average repair bill for termite damage is $3,000 or more.

• Insurance rarely covers termite repairs.

In Summerville, the risk is even higher. Heavy rainfall, high humidity, and sandy soils create prime conditions for termite colonies. Crawl spaces, shaded lots, and water-damaged wood are especially vulnerable.
