Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Doswell's conditions — a humid climate with a long, hot summer and winters mild enough that snow is inconsistent — create exactly that. A blend of historic river-town homes and dense coastal development shaped by the region's military and shipping industries. 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.
