Termite Control in Macon, GA
Local Termite Protection Backed by 55+ Years of Regional Experience
Macon, GA sits in the heart of Middle Georgia, where warm temperatures and moist, fertile soil keep termites active year-round. Standard homeowners insurance typically doesn’t cover termite damage, which means structural repair costs fall entirely on the property owner. We’ve been helping protect homes and businesses across Southern Georgia from exactly this kind of damage since 1969.
Astro Exterminating Services is a local, family-owned company. Our licensed and insured team, the Astro Army, brings over 55 years of hands-on experience with the termite species and seasonal patterns common to this region. We offer free termite inspections and estimates with no obligation, and same-day service is available in many cases.

Termite Treatment Options for Macon Properties
Every termite situation is different, which is why we offer three distinct treatment strategies. The right approach depends on your property’s construction, the extent of activity, and your long-term goals. Each plan starts with a free inspection so we can recommend the most effective path forward.
Sentricon Baiting System
Sentricon uses in-ground monitoring stations placed at intervals around the property. Stations are checked annually and remain active. When termites encounter the bait, they carry it back to the colony, disrupting the termite lifecycle and addressing the infestation at its source. This system is a strong fit for ongoing termite management and continuous monitoring.
Termidor Liquid Termiticide
Termidor is applied as a liquid treatment to create a virtually odorless barrier around your building’s perimeter. Because it’s non-repellent, termites don’t avoid it. They contact the treated zone and transfer it to other colony members, which can affect termites throughout the colony. Termidor also provides long-term residual protection after the initial application.
Borate Wood Treatment
Borate penetrates directly into wood fibers, making the wood inedible to termites by disrupting the enzyme systems and bacteria termites rely on for digestion. It also protects treated wood against wood-decaying fungi, making it a particularly effective option for crawl spaces, new construction, and exposed framing.

Signs of Termite Activity Macon Homeowners Should Know
In Middle Georgia’s warm climate, termite pressure doesn’t follow a strict seasonal window. Eastern Subterranean termites typically swarm during daytime hours in spring, while Formosan termites may swarm on warm nights in late spring or early summer. Outside of swarming season, activity often continues out of sight. These are the signs worth watching for:
- Mud tubes on foundation walls or in crawl spaces: Pencil-sized tunnels connecting soil to the structure that provide termites moisture and protection as they travel.
- Hollow-sounding or blistering wood: Wood that sounds empty when tapped, or flooring that bubbles without an obvious water source, can indicate internal feeding.
- Discarded wings near windowsills or light fixtures: Swarmers shed their wings after landing. Even a small accumulation of detached wings signals a nearby established colony.
- Frass near wooden surfaces: Small granular pellets resembling fine sand or sawdust near wood are a sign of drywood termite feeding activity.
- Visible swarmers indoors: Winged termites inside the home strongly suggest an established colony within or directly beneath the structure.
Our inspections combine traditional techniques with advanced technology to detect early or hidden termite activity. Each visit starts with a detailed assessment of the foundation, crawl space, attic, and potential entry points across the property.
