Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Dike's conditions — a hot, humid climate for much of the year, with brief but genuine winter cold snaps — create exactly that. Slab-on-grade construction dominates here, built over the region's notoriously expansive Blackland Prairie clay. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
