Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Bentley's conditions — a climate defined by both summer heat and winter cold, with spring storm season a defining feature — create exactly that. Ranch-style homes and newer suburban construction dominate, nearly all built with basements given the area's severe weather risk. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
