Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Douglass's conditions — a Great Plains climate with hot summers, cold winters, and a well-earned reputation for severe spring weather — create exactly that. Housing spans established Wichita-area neighborhoods to newer subdivisions on the metro's growing edge. 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.
