Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Brick's conditions — a humid subtropical-leaning climate with hot, humid summers and winters milder than northern New Jersey, moderated near the coast — create exactly that. Crawl-space and basement construction both appear here, varying by proximity to the coast and water table. 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.
