Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Colgate, a climate shaped by both farmland and forest, with genuine cold winters throughout the year, and Wood-frame farmhouses and lake-country cabins dominate, nearly all built with basements for winter protection. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
