Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Dunbar, a continental climate where both summer heat and winter cold are taken seriously, standard for the Corn Belt, and Housing here ranges from historic farmhouses to newer construction, with basements standard throughout for winter protection. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
