Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Hanley Falls's conditions — a climate where deep winter cold and heavy snow are simply a fact of life most years — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from historic farm and Iron Range mining-town construction to modest small-town homes, basements standard. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
