Satisfaction Guaranteed • PHD in Customer Care
Certified termite control for Midlands and Upstate properties. Free inspections, Sentricon and Termidor treatment, and CL-100 reports for South Carolina property transactions. Family-owned since 1955.
Termites cause roughly 30 billion dollars in property damage across the United States every year, and South Carolina sits in one of the highest risk zones in the country. The Midlands climate keeps colonies active through most of the year.
Our termite work is handled by certified specialists rather than generalists. We are an authorized Sentricon installer, and every Termidor liquid treatment is overseen by a Clemson-certified Master Termite Technician.

Quick answers on the warning signs, which termites are active in the Midlands, and what a CL-100 report is for.
Pencil-width tunnels along foundation walls, crawl space piers or wooden beams. The clearest sign of subterranean termite activity.
Swarmers shed their wings after mating. Small piles near windowsills, door frames or porches mean a swarm happened nearby.
Termites eat wood from the inside out and leave the surface intact. Tap baseboards or structural wood and listen for a hollow, papery tone.
Moisture from termite tunnels makes paint bubble or blister. In a dry area of the house, that is not water damage.
Subterranean termites are the dominant species in South Carolina. They need soil contact to survive and build mud tubes to reach structural wood, which is why wood-to-soil contact and crawl space moisture matter so much here. Formosan termites are also active in the state and build far larger, more aggressive colonies.
We provide CL-100 Wood Destroying Insect Reports for South Carolina real estate transactions. The report documents whether wood-destroying insects or existing damage were found on the property, and it is typically required to close a home sale in this state.
Termite risk in the Midlands is largely about moisture and wood-to-soil contact.
Activity surges every spring and summer in the Midlands, which is when monitoring matters most.
Yes. Inspections are free, and you get a clear account of what we found and what it means before any work is discussed.
Annually at minimum. South Carolina is a high risk state and the Midlands climate keeps colonies active most of the year. Crawl space properties warrant more frequent monitoring.
Appointment length depends on the treatment and property. Our team will explain what to expect, provide an arrival window, and call on the way.
Modern uses low-toxicity, professional products and follows service-specific safety requirements. Some treatments require people or pets to stay out of treated areas until the materials are dry or for a specified period.
