Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Clintonville, a humid continental climate with cold, often heavy-snow winters (lake-effect snow near Erie) and warm, humid summers, and Wood-frame construction with basements is standard here, given the region's consistently heavy winters. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
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.
