Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Bomoseen's conditions — a high mountain climate defined by heavy snowpack and a brief, mild summer season — create exactly that. Housing here is built specifically for mountain winters — reinforced roofs, basements, and wood-frame construction on forested lots. 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.
