Quick Answer
Plain-English termites guidance from the Paladin crew, written for Upstate South Carolina homes with kids, pets, and busy weekends.
For the next step, compare termite control and inspection, read about termite inspection services, or check where Paladin works across Upstate SC.
Subterranean termites are present across the Upstate. South Carolina requires a CL-100 wood-infestation letter for most real-estate closings. These guides cover what an inspection actually looks at, how to read the report, and what to do if you see mud tubes on your foundation. This connects closely with WDI inspection letters when you are comparing next steps.

Termites questions we hear most
Does South Carolina require a termite letter to sell a home?
Most real-estate closings require a CL-100 wood-infestation report. The guides here cover what that inspection looks at and how to read it.
How do I know if mud tubes mean an active infestation?
Mud tubes are a strong sign of subterranean termite activity, but a professional inspection confirms whether it is active. The posts explain what inspectors check.
How often should a home be inspected for termites?
Annual inspection is the common cadence in the Upstate given year-round subterranean pressure. The guides cover why.

About this category
Termite content in the Upstate covers two big areas: subterranean termite biology and the Trelona® ATBS baiting program we use, and the practical homeowner decisions around inspection cadence, conducive-condition correction, and CL-100 real-estate inspections required at closing. This connects closely with WDI inspection letters when you are comparing next steps.
Posts in this category answer the questions that most often come up on a termite call: how to tell mud tubes from carpenter-ant frass, when a swarm is normal versus an active infestation, how baiting compares to liquid barrier work, and what the inspection cadence should look like for a typical Upstate home. Homeowners seeing similar pressure can also review Paladin service areas before scheduling.
