Deal's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Dense multi-family buildings and rowhomes throughout the older cities, alongside single-family postwar suburban homes further out, most with basements. Combined with the local climate — a four-season climate with real winter cold and snow, and hot, muggy summers — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
