Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Connelly's conditions — a four-season climate with real winter cold and heavy snow, especially farther north toward the Adirondacks — create exactly that. A mix of historic colonial and Federal-era homes along the Hudson River and newer suburban development around Albany, most with basements. 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.
