Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Centreville's conditions — a climate shaped by the Bay's moderating effect, milder in winter than inland Maryland — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from historic Bay-adjacent homes to inland farmhouses, most on crawl-space foundations. 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.
