Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Audubon's conditions — a climate with some of the coldest winter temperatures in the lower 48, especially in the northern part of the state — create exactly that. Older farmhouses and small-town homes, nearly all with full basements built to handle the region's extreme winter cold. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
