We work the conditions first: trim the shrub that touches the siding, fix the gutter that drips on the foundation, seal the gap behind the dryer vent. For a wider plan, pair this with Eco-friendly pest control so the whole property is covered.

Termite inspection and Trelona ATBS
Subterranean termite work that's monitored on a measured cadence
Termite damage in the Upstate is usually invisible from inside the house. The inspection happens in the crawl space, at the foundation, and along the perimeter where wood meets soil.
Trelona ATBS bait stations on measured spacing intercept active colonies before damage becomes structural. We document the cadence so renewals and re-inspections are predictable.
How Paladin actually handles this in the Upstate
Termite work happens in the crawl space, on the foundation, and around the perimeter where wood meets soil. We look for active mud tubes, frass piles, hollow-sounding sill plates, and conducive conditions like wood debris in contact with the ground. The Trelona® ATBS bait stations are placed on a measured spacing around the structure and re-checked on a defined cadence so an active colony is intercepted before damage becomes structural.
