Termite Warning Signs Lexington Homeowners Should Recognize

The eastern subterranean termite is the most common species in the Lexington and Midlands area, and it does its damage quietly. Colonies can be active for years before visible signs appear, and standard homeowner insurance policies typically don’t cover termite damage. That makes early detection the most practical form of protection.

Watch for these indicators of termite activity:

• Mud tubes on foundations or crawlspace framing: Pencil-width tunnels along piers, foundation walls, or floor joists are a strong sign that subterranean termites are using them as protected travel routes from soil to wood.
• Discarded wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures: Eastern subterranean termites typically swarm during daylight hours from February through May in South Carolina. Finding shed wings indoors signals that swarmers have been active.
• Hollow-sounding wood, blistering paint, or sticking doors: These can all point to termite damage within wood structures. Tap wooden trim, baseboards, and framing to listen for a hollow tone.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs at your Lexington property, an inspection is the right next step.

Termite Treatment Options for Lexington Properties

There’s no single approach that fits every termite situation. The right treatment depends on the structure type, infestation status, soil conditions, and whether we’re working on a pre- or post-construction property. We use two proven treatment methods and apply them based on what each job requires.

Sentricon Colony Elimination System

As a Certified Sentricon provider, we install bait stations around the perimeter of your structure. Worker termites carry the slow-acting bait back to the colony, which is designed to eliminate it from within, including the queen. Sentricon reaches termites that may never encounter a liquid barrier, making it a strong option for active infestations and ongoing prevention alike.

Termidor Liquid Soil Barrier

Termidor termiticide is applied by our certified technicians to create a chemical barrier in the soil beneath and around a structure, designed to block subterranean termite entry. On post-construction properties with attached slabs, this process includes drilling to apply termiticide beneath the foundation. We also provide pre-construction termite treatments for Lexington properties where soil treatment before the slab is poured adds protection from the ground up.

ModernCare Plans: Ongoing Termite Monitoring for Lexington Homes

A one-time treatment addresses an active problem, but termite pressure in South Carolina doesn’t stop after a single application. Our ModernCare service plans keep a monitoring system in place and maintain your termite bond so you’re covered if activity returns, rather than starting the process over from scratch. A termite bond is a service agreement that typically covers retreatment if termites return after an initial treatment.

Two plan options include termite coverage:

• ModernCare Plus ($63/month): Includes a termite monitoring system and bond alongside insect protection for your home.
• ModernCare Complete ($106/month): Adds mosquito reduction, exterior flea and tick protection, and wildlife inspection discounts to the termite monitoring system and bond.

Regular bait station inspections are part of the monitoring program and help catch new activity before damage has a chance to develop. We can go over plan options during your free inspection visit. (Pricing is current as of publication and subject to change.)

CL-100 Wood Infestation Reports for Lexington Real Estate

If you’re buying or selling a home in Lexington, SC, your lender or real estate contract almost certainly requires a CL-100 South Carolina Wood Infestation Report. This official document covers evidence of wood-destroying insects, wood-destroying fungi below the first floor, and current moisture levels in the substructure. We provide CL-100 reports for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout the area.

A dedicated CL-100 request form is available on our website, and free estimates apply to real estate inspection services. Sellers who schedule a pre-listing inspection can identify issues before they surface during a buyer’s due diligence period and delay closing.
