Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Bessie's conditions — a hot, windy climate with generally short winters and increasingly dry conditions the farther west you go — create exactly that. Slab-on-grade construction dominates here, common throughout central Oklahoma's expansive clay-soil terrain. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
