Termite Control & Prevention
Proudly Serving South Carolina | North Carolina | Georgia | Florida
Termites are the most destructive pest by a wide margin. Every year, they do about $5 billion in damages to homes. At Rocket, our commitment to helping you protect your property is unwavering. Since 1965, we’ve proudly provided reliable termite control in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
The good news about termites is that if you catch them early, you can often avoid significant damage. Termite colonies start small. As they grow, the amount of damage they can do multiplies. It’s also much more difficult to eliminate a large infestation than a small one. That’s why it’s always the best policy to call our professional termite exterminators at the first sign of trouble. Our team will perform a full inspection and craft a strategic plan for effective termite removal and prevention.

When to Call a Termite Removal Expert

From cosmetic blemishes to structural weaknesses, termites can damage your property in many different ways, and if you see signs of an infestation, you should call a trusted termite control expert immediately. The sooner you address the problem, the better off you will be.

What are the most common types of termites in the Southeast?
The Southeast offers a warm and humid climate that termites love. As a result, we deal with a lot of termites here. Drywood termites and subterranean termites are the most common. Here are some others you might encounter:
- Drywood termites – Very common. Not as aggressive as Formosan and have smaller colonies
- Formosan subterranean termites – They are aggressive and invasive, a single colony may contain several million termites
- Asian subterranean termites – These aggressive and invasive termites form massive colonies that cause a large percentage of the damage in Florida
- Eastern subterranean termites – Native to North America. Often found in building timber
- Dampwood termites – Commonly found in warm and humid climates, they infest structures with wood-to-soil contact areas where wood is constantly in contact with damp or wet soil, or areas with water from leaks or standing water. These termites are not considered a major structural pest.
