Termites Cause Billions in Damage—Don’t Let Your Home Be Next

Termites are responsible for over $30 billion in damage to homes and businesses across the U.S. every year—more than fires, floods, and other natural disasters combined. In fact, a single termite colony can consume nearly two feet of a 2x4 board in just one year.



In Charlotte and the surrounding region, the primary threat comes from the Eastern Subterranean Termite, a species known for its ability to silently destroy wood from the inside out. According to the NC Department of Agriculture, there are an estimated 23 colonies per acre, with up to 200,000 termites per colony. That means your home could easily be surrounded—without you knowing it.

Other Common Wood-Destroying Insects in Charlotte, NC

While termites are the most well-known, they’re not the only wood-destroying pests we see in North Carolina. We also treat and inspect for:

  • Carpenter Ants – Known for nesting in moist or damaged wood
  • Carpenter Bees – Bore perfectly round holes in exterior wood
  • Old House Borers – Attack seasoned wood and can live for years undetected
  • Powder Post Beetles – Leave behind fine sawdust and tiny exit holes


Each of these pests can significantly compromise your home’s structural integrity if left untreated.
