Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Doerun's conditions — a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers, mild winters, and real hurricane season exposure along the coast — create exactly that. Crawl-space construction is common near the coast, given the high water table typical of Georgia's lowcountry. 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.
