Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Boys Town's conditions — a four-season Great Plains climate with real winter cold, moderated slightly by the urban heat of the metro area — create exactly that. Newer suburban subdivisions dominate here, built during the Omaha metro's recent growth, with basements standard for winter protection. 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.
