Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Cyril's conditions — a hot, windy climate with generally short winters and increasingly dry conditions the farther west you go — create exactly that. Slab-on-grade construction dominates here, common throughout central Oklahoma's expansive clay-soil terrain. 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.
