Most homes in Western North Carolina benefit from ongoing pest control, but not all plans include protection against termites.
Here's a simple breakdown of what's included and how to think about the difference.
This time of year, we start to see termite activity increase across Western North Carolina. In many cases, the conditions that lead to termite issues are present well before there are visible signs.
This does not mean there is an active problem, but it does mean it is something worth understanding and planning for over time.
Both plans provide year-round protection. Choose based on your termite protection needs.
General pest control & prevention
Billed quarterly at $114
Complete protection including termites
One-time fee for Sentricon® termite system installation
Billed quarterly at $195
Termite protection works differently than general pest control.
It typically begins with an initial installation of a system such as Sentricon, followed by ongoing monitoring and maintenance over time.
Termite protection typically begins with a one-time installation of a Sentricon system at your home, which is completed as a separate service. Once installed, HomeSafe Plus includes the ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and baiting needed to keep that system working over time.
HomeSafe Plus is designed to support that long-term protection once a system is in place.
Most homeowners already have a plan in place for general pest control.
The difference is whether or not termite protection is included.
In this area, termites are a normal part of the environment. For many homeowners, it is less about reacting to a problem and more about having a plan in place before one develops.

These conditions are common and do not necessarily mean there is an issue, but they can increase the likelihood of termite activity over time.
Moisture near the foundation
Wood-to-ground contact
Mulch or organic material near the home
Shaded or damp areas around the structure
These conditions are common and do not necessarily mean there is an issue, but they can increase the likelihood of termite activity over time.
