Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Cumberland Furnace's conditions — a humid climate with a long summer season and winters that bring occasional real cold. — create exactly that. A blend of established rural communities and newer suburban construction expanding from the Nashville metro. 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.
