When it comes to protecting your home, there's one enemy that often goes unseen until the damage is done — termites. In Georgia, our warm, humid climate creates the perfect environment for these destructive pests, making termite prevention a year-round priority — but especially critical during peak activity seasons.
Why Termite Season Matters in Georgia
Subterranean termites, the most common type in our state, thrive in moisture-rich soil and become more active as temperatures rise in spring and early summer. This is when colonies send out "swarmers" — winged termites searching for new places to build their nests. If they find your home, they can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you even notice they're there.
Signs You Might Have Termites
- Mud tubes along your foundation or walls
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Blistering paint or wood damage that looks like water damage
Tip: Catching termites early can save you from costly repairs, but prevention is always the best defense.
How to Protect Your Home
- Schedule Regular Inspections - Have a professional termite inspection at least once a year to catch early signs of activity.
- Reduce Moisture Around Your Foundation - Fix leaky spigots, clean gutters, and ensure proper drainage.
- Keep Wood Away from Your Home - Store firewood and lumber at least 20 feet from your house.
- Seal Entry Points - Cracks in your foundation or gaps in siding can be entryways for termites.
