Termite control in Lexington from our branch at 5223 Augusta Road. Free inspections, certified specialists, and CL-100 reports for property transactions.
South Carolina sits in one of the highest termite risk zones in the country, and Lexington County is squarely in it. Warm, humid conditions keep subterranean colonies active through most of the year rather than shutting them down seasonally.
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.
From recurring pest control and termite protection to wildlife, moisture, mosquito, and commercial programs, Modern builds practical solutions around your property. Integrated Pest Management guides our service-first approach.
Inspections, baiting systems, pre-construction treatment, and CL100 / WDO support.
Recurring and one-time protection for common household pests with an IPM-first approach.
Trapping, removal, exclusion, and damage repair for common South Carolina wildlife.
Every visit includes the same core steps, built to solve the problem instead of masking it for a few days.
A technician inspects the property inside and out, identifies the pest and the conditions behind it, and locates entry points and likely nest or harborage sites before any treatment begins.
2
The pest, the severity, and the property determine the plan. A minor problem calls for a different approach than a heavy infestation or a structural issue.
3
Technicians apply targeted treatments at entry points, nesting sites, and problem areas, matched to the pest and the property, indoors and outdoors as needed.
4
After treatment, technicians point out conditions that invite pests back, such as moisture or exposed food sources, and schedule follow-up service if activity continues.
Inspections are free, and you get a clear account of what we found and what it means before any work is discussed.

Subterranean termites are the dominant species here. They need soil contact and build mud tubes to reach structural wood, which is why crawl space moisture and wood-to-soil contact matter so much. Formosan termites are also active in the state and build far larger colonies.
Activity surges every spring and summer. Watch for mud tubes along foundation walls, discarded swarmer wings near windowsills, hollow-sounding wood, and paint that bubbles in an otherwise dry area of the house.
Lexington property types carry different levels of exposure, and the inspection is what tells us which applies.
Damp crawl spaces and wood-to-soil contact are exactly what subterranean termites follow. Higher ground moisture near Lake Murray and the creeks feeding it keeps soil conditions favourable for colonies year round.

It depends on the property. Sentricon baiting eliminates the colony; Termidor liquid creates a treated zone around the foundation. Many properties benefit from both.
Annually at minimum. South Carolina is a high risk state, and crawl space properties warrant more frequent monitoring.
