Termites and other Wood Destroying Insects

While most people immediately think of termites, we can experience multiple other wood destroying insects in our homes, such as.

  • Carpenter Ants
  • Carpenter Bees
  • Old House Borers
  • Powder Post Beetles

Termites cause more damage ($30 billion) to our homes and businesses every year than that of fires, floods and natural disasters combined.  They can eat about 2’ of 2×4 in one years, time.  The average termite treatment cost to treat an infestation is $1200.00 to $1500.00.

In the Charlotte Metro region, we currently only have to worry about the Eastern Subterranean termite.

NC Department of Agriculture estimates 23 termite colonies per acre of land with up to 200,000 termites within each colony.
