Termite Prevention and Control

Termite Control for Charlotte and the Carolinas

Many homeowners don’t realize that termite damage to their property is not covered by their homeowners insurance policy, which costs homeowners an estimated $1.5 billion in damages each year. In the southeast, one acre of land can contain up to 14 termite colonies! A proper Termite Protection plan is vital to protecting your home from an unwanted, and likely unseen, termite infestation.

At Killingsworth, we take Termite Protection very seriously. With an estimated 5 million homes effected by termites every year in the US, it’s our job to make sure you’re not one of them.

Termite Prevention: Our Step-by-Step Process

Our process for preventing termites is one that is based on science. The Sentricon® Always Active™ system not only kills termites that come into contact with it but also destroys the entire colony!

Initial Inspection

First, we’ll thoroughly inspect your residence and property for signs of termite activity, conduct a termite damage assessment and identify conditions conducive to termite infestations.

Sentricon® Always Active™ Installation

Experienced termite control professionals will strategically place termite bait stations in the soil around the home. Recruit HD, the active ingredient in each bait station, has been scientifically proven to eliminate an entire termite colony—comprising of thousands of wood damaging insects—with as little as one tube of bait. Once the system is installed, the bait is immediately available to foraging termites. Termites will then share the bait until the total colony is eliminated, including the queen, with no harmful chemicals left behind.

Annual Monitoring for New Termite Activity

We will continue to monitor the Sentricon® System with Always Active™ to protect your home against future termite infestations and replenish bait as needed to ensure no lapse in protection.

Elimination of Termite Conducive Conditions

During our inspections, we identify any issues that may affect the success of your termite protection plan. This includes an inspection of the exterior perimeter, garage, and interior on slab homes, or the crawl space on homes with a crawl space. Identification of poor moisture control and untreated wood to ground contact are all important factors to consider.
