Cayuta's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing here dates heavily to the early-1900s manufacturing era, with narrow city lots and full basements standard. Combined with the local climate — a climate shaped by proximity to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, colder and snowier in winter than downstate New York — 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.
