Protecting Covington Homes from Silent Destroyers
Covington’s warm, humid climate and rich history make it a charming place to live. However, these same conditions also make it a hotspot for termite activity. At Lookout Pest Control, we specialize in safeguarding Covington homes from these destructive pests, ensuring your property’s integrity for years to come.
Understanding Covington’s Termite Threats
Georgia is situated in the “termite belt,” a region with a high risk of termite infestations. In Covington, the most common culprits are:
-
Eastern Subterranean Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes): These termites build colonies underground and can cause significant structural damage as they feed on wood.
-
Formosan Subterranean Termites (Coptotermes formosanus): Known for their aggressive nature and large colonies, they can rapidly inflict severe damage.
These species thrive in areas with ample moisture, making Covington’s environment particularly conducive to their proliferation.

Signs of Termite Infestation
Early detection is crucial. Be on the lookout for:

Mud Tubes: Pencil-sized tunnels near your home’s foundation.

Discarded Wings: Often found near windowsills or entry points.
-
Hollow-Sounding Wood: Wood that sounds hollow when tapped may be compromised.
-
Buckling Paint or Wallpaper: Indicates moisture buildup from termite activity.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act promptly to prevent further damage.
