In this episode of Bug Busters Pest Pulse, host Court Parker dives into the hidden world of termite infestations — one of the most costly threats to Southern homeowners.

- Why the Southeast is a termite hotspot
- Key differences between subterranean, Formosan, drywood, and dampwood termites
- How to identify early warning signs like mud tubes, frass, wood blistering, and swarmers
- What attracts termites (moisture, wood-to-soil contact, poor ventilation)
- Practical prevention steps homeowners can take immediately
- When to call in the pros for inspections, bait stations, or chemical barriers
Whether you're a first-time homeowner or a seasoned Southern resident, this episode offers actionable advice to prevent termite damage and protect your investment long term.
