Elk Grove Village's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A blend of dense urban multi-family buildings and single-family suburban homes, nearly all with basements given the region's cold winters. Combined with the local climate — a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers, cold and often harsh winters, and significant lake-effect influence near Lake Michigan — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
