Termite Control · the Lowcountry
Subterranean termites are a fact of life on this part of the coast, and the Formosan kind adds a more aggressive neighbor. Crawl spaces under raised houses, wood siding near the ground and slab homes with plumbing gaps all give them a way in. Since so much of the risk is hidden, the paperwork matters almost as much as the treatment: what the bond covers, and who pays if damage turns up.
Ask whether the bond is retreatment-only or repair-and-retreatment, and whether it covers Formosan termites. Termite bonds in South Carolina walks through what each covers and the exclusions to read twice.
Ask how they'll get eyes on the whole foundation. A bond on a house nobody can fully inspect is a promise with a blind spot.
