Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Fitzhugh's conditions — a climate shaped by the region's proximity to the Ozark Plateau, wetter and greener than the plains further west — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from early-1900s oil-boom construction in Tulsa to more rural, wooded-lot homes toward the Ozark foothills. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
