Protect your biggest investment before the damage is done.
Termite Control You Can Count On
Subterranean termites are the most destructive pest in Georgia, and northeast Georgia gives them everything they need: warm seasons, abundant moisture from Lake Lanier, Lake Hartwell, and the Chattahoochee River, and a lot of older housing stock built before modern treated-lumber standards. A termite colony can feed on the structural wood of your home for years before any visible sign appears, and most homeowner insurance policies do not cover the damage.
Kilz Pest Control provides licensed termite treatment and free WDO (wood-destroying organism) inspections to homes and businesses throughout Gainesville, Clarkesville, Cornelia, Toccoa, Dahlonega, Cleveland, Helen, Lavonia, Hartwell, and every community in between. We are locally owned, which means the person inspecting your crawl space is the person who answers the phone, not a national call center reading from a script.
Why Homeowners Choose Kilz
- Free inspections with honest findings
- Licensed & insured in Georgia

Signs You Have Termites
Catching a problem early makes treatment faster, cheaper, and less disruptive.
Mud tubes on the foundation
Pencil-width mud tubes running up foundation walls, piers, or any soil-to-wood contact are the classic sign of subterranean termites in our area.
Hollow or papery wood
Termites eat wood from the inside out. Baseboards, door frames, or beams that sound hollow when tapped are a serious red flag.
Discarded wings near windows
After a swarm, termites shed their wings. Small piles of identical wings on sills or in spider webs mean a mature colony is nearby.
Doors and windows that stick
Moisture from termite activity warps wood, causing doors and windows that once opened smoothly to swell and stick.
Our Approach
How Our Termite Treatment Works
Every termite job starts with a thorough, free inspection. We check the crawl space, foundation, attic, and all accessible wood, then give you a written report of exactly what we found, whether you have an active infestation or not. No scare tactics, no pressure.
For active colonies and prevention, we use liquid termiticide soil treatments with Termidor or an equivalent professional product, applied as a continuous treated zone around the structure. For ongoing protection and monitoring, we install Sentricon bait station systems that intercept termites before they reach the home. Many customers combine both for the strongest defense.

Questions about termite control?
(706) 754-6248Termite Control Across Northeast Georgia
Termite risk is not the same everywhere in our service area. Clarkesville's historic district, Toccoa's mill-era neighborhoods, and Dahlonega's gold-rush-era buildings carry some of the highest undetected termite rates in the region because they were built with minimal treated lumber. Lakefront properties around Lanier and Hartwell face elevated risk from constant moisture.
If you own or are buying an older home, or anything near the water, a WDO inspection is one of the smartest free checks you can get. Call (706) 754-6248 and we will schedule it.
We provide termite control to homes and businesses across northeast Georgia, including Gainesville, Clarkesville, Cornelia, Toccoa, Dahlonega, Helen, Cleveland, Jefferson, Lavonia, Hartwell, and Demorest. See our full list of service areas for local details near you.
Termite Control: Common Questions
How much does termite treatment cost in Georgia?
Cost depends on the size of the home, the construction type, and whether you need a corrective treatment for an active infestation or preventive protection. We give you an exact quote after the free inspection, with no obligation to move forward.
How do I know if I really have termites?
The only sure way is a professional inspection. Mud tubes, hollow wood, discarded wings, and warped doors are all warning signs, but termites hide well. Our WDO inspection is free, so there is no reason to guess.
Do you offer real estate WDO letters?
Yes. We provide the official Georgia wood-infestation report (WDO letter) that buyers, sellers, and lenders require during a real estate closing. Call ahead so we can fit your closing timeline.
Is termite treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes. The products we use are applied to soil and bait stations around the structure by a licensed applicator and are not a risk to your family or pets when applied correctly. We will explain any prep steps before we treat.
How often should I have a termite inspection?
We recommend a professional termite inspection at least once a year, and sooner for older homes or any property that has not been checked in over 12 months. Annual monitoring catches problems while they are still small.
