Termite Control in Fuquay-Varina, NC

Subterranean termites are the most common species in Fuquay-Varina. These pests live underground and enter homes through soil contact, foundation gaps, and wood-to-ground contact points. Once inside, they can chew through structural wood, drywall, and even insulation, often undetected until major repairs are needed.

Factors that increase termite risk in our area:

• Homes with crawlspaces or slab foundations
• Heavy rainfall and poor drainage
• Landscaping with mulch near the foundation
• Untreated or older wood siding
• High humidity levels around the home

Termites can be active year-round in Fuquay-Varina. That’s why annual inspections and preventative treatments are critical for avoiding costly repairs.

We’ll recommend the best treatment based on your home’s construction, termite pressure, and soil conditions.

How to Know If You Have Termites

Many Fuquay-Varina homeowners don’t realize they have termites until damage is already done. Keep an eye out for these common warning signs:

• Mud tubes on walls or foundation
• Discarded wings on windowsills or floors
• Soft or hollow-sounding wood
• Buckling paint or unexplained drywall damage
• Sagging floors or ceilings

If you notice any of these, schedule a termite inspection right away.

Termites vs. Winged Ants: What Homeowners in Fuquay-Varina Should Know

During termite swarm season in Fuquay-Varina, typically from March through early summer, many homeowners mistake winged ants for swarming termites. While they look similar at first glance, there are a few easy ways to tell the difference.

How to Identify a Swarming Termite:

• Straight antennae
• Equal-length wings (both pairs are the same size)
• Thick, straight waist (body width is uniform)

How to Identify a Winged Ant:

• Elbowed antennae
• Uneven wings (front wings are longer than the hind wings)
• Narrow, pinched waist (classic “ant” shape)

If you find discarded wings around windowsills, light fixtures, or near the foundation of your home, it may be a sign of a termite swarm, not ants. Swarming termites indicate that a colony is nearby—or even inside the structure.
