Your Local Termite Control Experts

Serving Charlotte | Raleigh - Durham | Greensboro

Termites are one of North Carolina's most dangerous pest problems. They're also one of the most common. It is estimated that termites cost Americans around $5 billion each year through their damage and expense for their control. In our region, there are two main types of termites that damage structures: drywood termites and subterranean termites.

With 60 years of experience, the termite exterminators at Bug Out have the training and expertise to eliminate termites and stop them from invading your property in the first place.

Termite Pest Control Solutions

Termites are a very common North Carolina pest problem. What makes termites so dreaded is the fact that termite infestations can go years without being detected. Our termite removal experts have a unique knowledge of these wood-destroying pests and have the tools to locate infested areas. Bug Out is proud to employ the pest control industry’s best methods to treat termites, including liquid treatments and bait stations.

Signs You Have a Termite Infestation

Early detection is crucial in preventing extensive damage caused by termites. Here are some common signs that you might have a termite infestation:

  • Mud Tubes: These are small tunnels that termites build to travel between their colony and food sources.
  • Discarded Wings: Termites shed their wings once they find a new nesting site.
  • Wood Damage: Look for hollow-sounding wood or wood that appears blistered.
  • Frass: These are termite droppings that look like small pellets or sawdust.

Have used this pest control service for several years. Very rarely have an insect problem, but when I do, Bug Out comes immediately and addresses the issue!

How to Prevent Termites in Your Home

Prevention is the best way to protect your home from termites. To minimize the risk, reduce moisture around your home by fixing leaks and ensuring proper drainage. Proper ventilation is also crucial to lower humidity levels, which can deter termites. Regular inspections by a termite exterminator can help detect any early signs of infestation. Keep firewood, lumber, and other wood debris away from your home to eliminate potential food sources for termites. Following these steps can help prevent termites from invading your home and causing significant damage. Our team is here to provide expert advice and services to keep your property safe.

FAQs

When it comes to effectively treating termites, Bug Out recommends a combination of strategies tailored to your specific situation. The best approach will depend on your particular property and the level of infestation. Solutions include advanced termiticides, termite baiting systems, and soil treatments to create a barrier around your property, preventing termites from accessing your home or business. It’s important to tackle termites from all angles considering long-term prevention strategies as well as dealing with the immediate infestation. For example, certain treatments like liquids kill on contact, but baits are a more long-term preventative solution as they kill based on termite foraging behaviors. 

Termites are attracted to moisture and wood, making your cupboard an ideal target. Dampwood termites, in particular, thrive in moist environments. Leaky pipes, poor ventilation, and inadequate drainage can create the perfect conditions for a termite infestation. Regularly inspecting and maintaining these areas can reduce the risk of termites.
