Termite Control In Georgia
Subterranean Termites
Although species vary throughout the United States, the Eastern subterranean termite is the one most likely to attack your home. Their underground colonies can contain millions of termites and they may also colonize and travel through tubes above ground. You may never see evidence of them until a pest professional discovers they’ve seriously damaged your home. In fact, termites cause $5 billion worth of damage each year in the U.S. alone—damage not covered by most homeowners’ insurance. It is imperative that you protect your home and largest investment from these pests
But Wait…Are They Ants or Termites?
When it comes to termite control from your Saint Simons Island, Sea Island, Brunswick or other Golden Isles area home, the experts at Redfern Pest Solutions use several clues to help distinguish termites from ants.
Examine the insect wings, waist and antennae to see the differences between these pests.
Worker termites are soft and milky in color. They require a constant source of moisture to prevent dehydration. They travel through mud tubes that they build for protection from air and sunlight. Because they forage constantly for food, they often enter your home unseen and cause damage behind your walls.
The best defense against termites is both a thorough treatment and annual inspections.
Preventing Termites
One way to prevent termites is to understand what they’re attracted to. Moisture is conducive to termite issues. Diverting water away from the foundation of your home can minimize your risk of termite activity as well as repairing leaks around plumbing and windows. Excessive mulch or pine straw or large, overgrown bushes can prevent the soil around a home from drying out, creating an opportunity for termites and other pests to thrive.

Termidor® For Effective Termite Control
Termidor is an advanced liquid-based product and is completely undetectable by termites. They literally cannot see, smell, taste, or most importantly, avoid it. Instead, they are attracted to it, ingest and share Termidor. And this ensures the eventual elimination of the entire colony.
Termidor is the most effective termiticide available on the market today providing 100% termite protection for at least 10 years – if not longer! No other termiticide or termite-control system lasts as long. Not only is Termidor 100% effective, but it is also odor free. The active ingredient, fipronil, is fully approved by the EPA, and has been used since 1995 for flea and tick control on cats and dogs.
Termidor Unique Advantages:
- Kills by ingestion, contact, and the “Transfer Effect,” meaning affected insects help spread Termidor throughout the colony before dying themselves
- Manages colonies in 3 months or less
- Over 20 years of test data proves 100% effectiveness
- Responsible, low-dose treatment, with no odor
- The world’s most effective termiticide
- Only trained, Termidor Certified Professionals can apply the product
