Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Dermott's conditions — Arkansas has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and generally mild winters, though the northern Ozark highlands run cooler than the Mississippi Delta lowlands in the east. — create exactly that. Typical rural Arkansas housing mix of older frame homes, mobile homes, and modest newer construction. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
