Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Denniston's conditions — a four-season climate shaped by hilly, forested terrain, with real winter cold and hot, humid summers — create exactly that. A mix of older rural homes built into hillside and hollow terrain, with wood-frame construction common throughout this forested region. 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.
