Esopus's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A blend of historic Hudson Valley homes and more rustic Adirondack construction built for heavy snow. Combined with the local climate — a humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers, colder overall than the New York City metro — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
