Why Termite Control is Critical in Memphis

Unlike ants or roaches, termites often go undetected until the damage is severe. By the time most homeowners notice signs, thousands of dollars in structural repairs may already be necessary.


Termites in Memphis are particularly destructive because:


  • Subterranean Termites Thrive Here – These termites live in the soil and enter homes through hidden mud tubes.
  • Year-Round Risk – Memphis’s mild winters allow colonies to stay active almost all year.
  • Hidden Activity – Termites eat wood from the inside out, making them hard to spot until it’s too late.
  • High Repair Costs – Termite damage is rarely covered by homeowners insurance.


The best defense is regular termite inspections and proactive treatments from a trusted local expert like Memphis Pest Shield.

  • Buckling floors or sagging ceilings.
  • Discarded wings near windowsills or doors (swarming season).
