Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Brownfield's conditions — a four-season climate tempered by ocean proximity, milder than inland Maine but still genuinely cold in winter — create exactly that. A mix of historic sea-captain homes, fishing-village cottages, and newer construction, many with basements for winter protection. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
