It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Stem sits in a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters, typical of the Piedmont. Construction here spans decades of sustained population growth throughout this research- and tech-driven corridor. That's exactly what subterranean termites, carpenter ants, fire ants, German cockroaches, mosquitoes, and ticks need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Crawl-space and slab construction is common here, built for the Piedmont's humid climate rather than deep winter cold. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
