Eastern Subterranean Termites in South Carolina: What You Need to Know Now?
Protect Your Property with South Carolina’s Trusted Termite Control Experts
When it comes to subterranean termites, the threat isn’t just hidden—it’s growing. If you’re in South Carolina, the two most destructive culprits are native Eastern Subterranean Termites and the highly aggressive Formosan Subterranean Termites. These silent invaders are responsible for millions in structural damage each year, and most homeowners don’t even know they’re under attack—until it’s too late.
At Blackwater Consulting Services, we’re not just pest pros—we’re your trusted termite control experts in South Carolina, specializing in both termite identification and treatment and wood-destroying insect inspections that get to the root of the problem.
What Are Eastern Subterranean Termites?
Eastern Subterranean Termites are the most common termite species in the U.S., and they’re especially active in South Carolina’s warm, humid climate. These pests live underground and travel through hidden mud tubes to invade your home from below—often going unnoticed for years.
They feed 24/7 on wood, flooring, paper, and even drywall—causing massive damage behind your walls without ever being seen. If you’re buying, selling, or maintaining property in South Carolina, a proactive wood-destroying insect inspection isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
Formosan Subterranean Termites: The Super Termite
Then there’s the Formosan subterranean termite, often called the “super termite.” Originally from Asia, this invasive species has taken root across the southern U.S.—and it’s no ordinary pest. A single Formosan colony can contain millions of termites and cause serious structural damage in a fraction of the time it takes native species.
We specialize in Formosan termite damage control, offering aggressive identification, containment, and expert support for complex infestations.
How Do You Know If You Have a Subterranean Termite Infestation?
Most infestations begin without warning. But a few red flags include:
- Swarming termites (especially in spring or early summer)
- Mud tubes along foundations or walls
- Hollow-sounding wood
- Discarded wings around windowsills
- Unexplained sagging floors or wall damage
The moment you notice these signs, don’t wait. Subterranean termites work fast—and the longer they’re left untreated, the more damage they do.
