Not on the strength of current documented research. Clemson HGIC's tracking puts established Formosan termite colonies in sixteen South Carolina counties, Spartanburg County not among them. Locally the native Eastern subterranean termite is by far the greater threat. A free inspection, arranged with your technician, confirms what is genuinely on the property.

Drywood termites are documented almost wholly within South Carolina's humid coastal counties. They are not currently a documented concern in Lyman, though a professional inspection can rule them out for your specific property.

The mill housing Pacific Mills completed in 1927 sits close to the river, and the town’s original water and sewer lines were laid with it — wastewater piped to a concrete tank beside the water. A century on, that ground still keeps soil damp against foundations built on the original mill-era footprint, giving Eastern subterranean termites more consistent moisture to work with.

The underlying species is the same, but moisture-retentive ground near the river in the Pacific Mills village keeps soil damp close to older foundations, while irrigated commercial landscaping along the I-85 corridor retains similar moisture close to newer foundations — both drive comparable subterranean termite risk through different conditions.

Almost certainly, where a mortgage is involved. South Carolina's Official Wood Infestation Report is the CL-100, and most lenders want one before closing. It is not a termite warranty: a licensed inspector reports visible evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects, visible damage, and the moisture readings and conducive conditions found in the crawl space. In a Pacific Mills village house that crawl space is usually the whole story, because the 375 houses built to one specification in the 1920s have been maintained seventy different ways since 1955. Book it well before the closing date, because a moisture or damage finding usually means a repair and a re-inspection.

Older, established construction in both of these parts of Lyman has accumulated wood-to-soil contact points over time, giving Eastern subterranean termites many more potential entry points than newer construction.

Yes, we do treat all of these. Barns, sheds, fencing and outbuildings take liquid barrier and bait treatments as readily as residential foundations, which matters for the farm structures common on the rural Spartanburg County fringe.

Watch for cast wings near windows and doors and fresh mud tubes on foundation walls or piers — both common with an active Upstate spring swarm.

Yes. Every product is EPA-registered and applied at labeled rates by licensed South Carolina technicians, largely outside or below-grade.
