Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Brook Park's conditions — a genuinely severe four-season climate, with winter cold snaps that regularly reach well below zero — create exactly that. A mix of historic Twin Cities neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban subdivisions, nearly all with full basements built for severe winters. 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.
