Biscoe's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Typical rural Arkansas housing mix of older frame homes, mobile homes, and modest newer construction. Combined with the local climate — Arkansas has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and generally mild winters, though the northern Ozark highlands run cooler than the Mississippi Delta lowlands in the east. — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
