Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Central Valley's conditions — a climate shaped by the region's coastal position, with genuine seasonal extremes and frequent nor'easters in winter — create exactly that. Historic brownstones and brick rowhomes make up much of the older urban housing stock, alongside Long Island's tract-home suburbs. 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.
