Flagler's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate here, built for the region's cold winters and dry climate. Combined with the local climate — a semi-arid climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year, hot summers, cold winters, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings — 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.
