Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Grasston's conditions — a humid continental climate with warm, humid summers and some of the coldest, snowiest winters of any major U.S. metro — create exactly that. Full basements are standard here, a near-universal response to the region's genuinely harsh winters. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
