Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Commerce's conditions — a climate shaped by the region's inland Piedmont position, warmer than the mountains and milder in winter than points north — create exactly that. Housing spans established mid-century Atlanta neighborhoods to brand-new subdivisions throughout the metro's outer suburbs. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
