Fertile's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A blend of older agricultural-area homes and small-town construction spread across this sparsely populated region. Combined with the local climate — a humid continental climate with brief, warm summers and long, brutally cold winters, more severe than the Twin Cities the farther north you go — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
