The Risks of Termite Damage
Termites might be small, but their impact on your property is anything but. These silent destroyers can cause extensive damage, including:
- Structural damage: Termites feast on the wooden structures of your home, weakening them over time. This silent destruction compromises the stability and safety of your property.
- Financial loss: If you delay in seeking treatment, the cost of repairing extended termite damage could be substantial. Early intervention gives us a chance to mitigate the damage and the costs associated with them.
- Property value loss: A known termite infestation can significantly decrease the value of your property by deterring potential buyers. This can make it more challenging to sell your home at your desired price.
- Potential health risks: While termites are not directly harmful to humans, their droppings and debris can contaminate your home's air quality, leading to respiratory issues, especially for people with pre-existing conditions.

The Warning Signs of Termite Damage
Catching a termite infestation early can save you time, money, and stress. Here are signs to look out for:
- Mud tubes: These pencil-sized tunnels can be found wherever the ground meets your house or along walls. Termites build these tubes as passageways, providing a humid and dark environment for them to travel safely. Finding them is a clear sign of an infestation.
- Hollowed wood: Termites consume wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer of wood or paint. If you knock or tap on an area where termites have eaten away the wood, it will sound hollow or papery due to parts (or all) of the interior having been eaten away.
- Piles of wings: After termites swarm—usually when they're looking to start a new colony—they shed their wings. These discarded wings are often found near windows, doors, or other home-access points. Finding piles of wings is an indication of a termite infestation.
- Frass: Termites leave behind tiny, pellet-shaped droppings known as frass. This waste product can often be found in small piles outside of the entry to a termite nest. Spotting frass is a sure sign of a termite problem and should prompt immediate action.
Get Your CL100 Inspection Report
In South Carolina, a CL100 Inspection Report--also known as a termite letter or wood infestation report--is crucial. It documents the presence (or lack thereof) of wood-destroying organisms that could impact the integrity of a property.
Most lenders require this report before approving a mortgage, and it's also vital for homeowners looking to sell their property. At Wilkey Services Pest Management, we provide comprehensive inspections to ensure your property meets the standards set by the CL100 report.

Comprehensive Termite Control Solutions in Myrtle Beach
Living in Myrtle Beach, we understand the unique challenges that come with maintaining a termite-free property. The warm, humid climate of our coastal city creates an ideal environment for termites to thrive, making it crucial for homeowners to stay vigilant. At Wilkey Services Pest Management, we are deeply familiar with the local conditions and the specific termite threats that Myrtle Beach residents face.
Our team is well-versed in the termite control regulations and resources provided by local government entities such as the Horry County Government and the City of Myrtle Beach. While we do not partner directly with these entities, we stay informed about their guidelines to ensure our services are compliant and effective.
One of the most common pain points for Myrtle Beach homeowners is the potential for structural damage due to termite infestations. The wooden structures of homes in our area are particularly vulnerable, and the high moisture levels can exacerbate the problem. This is why regular termite inspections and moisture control are essential components of our termite control strategy.
We also understand that financial concerns are a significant factor for our customers. The cost of repairing termite damage can be substantial, especially if the infestation is not caught early. By offering preventative measures and early intervention, we help Myrtle Beach residents save money and protect their property values.

Eco-Friendly Termite Control in Little River
Our experienced technicians understand the importance of carrying out both effective pest control and environmental preservation. That's why we use green-friendly products that can effectively eliminate termites without causing harm to the surrounding ecosystems.
Children and pets are particularly vulnerable to harmful substances found in many conventional termite control products. These substances can cause serious health issues, ranging from skin and eye irritation, to more severe conditions. By choosing our eco-friendly services, you can help protect the safety of your loved ones.
Unsafe products don't just affect the inhabitants of your home. They can also have detrimental effects on your landscaping. Many synthetic pesticides leach into the soil, contaminating it and adversely affecting plant growth. Our eco-friendly products, on the other hand, leave your landscaping unharmed, preserving the aesthetic appeal of your property.
Furthermore, biodiversity is essential for a healthy ecosystem. Conventional pesticides often kill non-target species, disrupting the ecological balance. Our environmentally safe products target termites specifically, leaving other beneficial insects and wildlife unharmed.
Our eco-friendly approach is about both protecting your home from termites and giving you peace of mind, knowing your control solution isn't contributing to environmental degradation. With Wilkey Services Pest Management, you're choosing a safer, greener alternative for termite control.
