Buena Vista's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A blend of historic Valley agricultural homes and older coalfield-era construction farther southwest. Combined with the local climate — a humid continental-leaning climate moderated by elevation, with colder winters and cooler summers than the rest of Virginia — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
