Are termites a big problem in Charlotte, NC?
Yes. Termites are a serious concern in Charlotte and across North Carolina, where warm, humid conditions provide the perfect environment for them to thrive. Subterranean termites are the most common in the area, and they feed on wood around the clock, often going unnoticed until significant damage is done. Because termites can compromise structural integrity and repairs are costly, early detection is critical. Our termite control services in Charlotte include thorough inspections and customized treatments designed to stop active colonies and help protect your home from future termite activity.
When is termite season in Charlotte?
In Charlotte, termite activity can occur year-round, but “termite season” typically refers to the spring months when termites swarm to establish new colonies. Swarming usually happens from March through May, especially after warm, rainy days. Because termites remain active underground and inside wood even outside of swarm season, they can cause damage at any time of year. Scheduling regular inspections is the best way to catch problems early and protect your home from costly repairs.
Are older homes in Charlotte more likely to get termites?
Yes. Older homes often have wood that is more accessible or exposed due to age, wear, or foundational issues. Over time, wood can weaken, crack, or develop gaps that make it easier for termites to gain access. Foundations may settle or shift, creating small openings where moisture accumulates, creating favorable conditions for subterranean termites. Many historic and mid-century homes in the area were built with construction methods that didn’t include treated lumber or moisture barriers, leaving wooden support beams and basements more exposed.
Moxie strongly recommends regular termite inspections for older homes. An inspection helps catch early signs of infestation before extensive structural damage occurs, helping protect both your property’s value and long-term stability.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover termite damage in North Carolina?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies in North Carolina do not cover termite damage, as it’s typically considered preventable through proper home maintenance. That’s why regular inspections are key to avoiding out-of-pocket repair costs.
What types of termites are most common in Charlotte?
In Charlotte, subterranean termites are by far the most common species homeowners face. These termites live in underground colonies and build mud tubes to access wood, where they feed continuously and often go undetected until damage is significant.
Drywood termites are less common but may also appear in the area, typically nesting directly inside wood and bypassing soil contact. Because both types can weaken a home’s structure, professional inspections and treatments are the most reliable way to detect and control termite activity.
Do the weather conditions in Charlotte increase the risk of termites?
Yes. Charlotte’s warm, humid climate creates favorable conditions for termites. Moist soil and damp wood from rainfall provide the environments these termites need to build colonies and feed. Swarm activity is most visible in spring after warm, rainy days, but termites remain active year-round underground and inside wood.
Do you offer termite inspections for real estate transactions in Charlotte?
Yes, we provide termite inspections for real estate transactions in the Charlotte area. During these inspections, our licensed Field Experts carefully check the property for signs of termite activity, damage, or conditions that may make the structure vulnerable.
