Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Commerce Township's conditions — a four-season climate typical of the Great Lakes region, with real winter cold and consistent summer humidity — create exactly that. Older brick and wood-frame homes built during the region's auto-manufacturing boom, most with basements to handle harsh winters. 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.
