Subterranean Termite Control in Summerville, SC

Subterranean Termite Control built for Summerville homes

Summerville sits on an old marine terrace that rises between roughly 42 and 70 feet above the lower Ashley River lowlands, but that elevation does not keep subterranean termites away. Formosan termites, established in Dorchester County, swarm on warm evenings from mid-May into July, while native subterranean termites begin swarming in early spring, meaning active pressure runs from March through summer's end. The loamy soils here include poorly drained depressions where moisture persists after heavy rain, and Summerville averages about 53 inches of rain annually, with June through September the wettest stretch. That sustained ground moisture is exactly what subterranean termite colonies depend on. An ongoing inspection and treatment program addresses both the spring and summer swarm cycles and the damp soil conditions that make Summerville properties consistently attractive to these insects year after year.
