Chipley's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer construction, with more traditional Southern-style housing than the concrete-block homes further south. Combined with the local climate — a climate that behaves more like the Deep South than the tropical peninsula, with real (if brief) cold snaps in winter — 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.
