Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Hatboro's conditions — a humid subtropical-leaning climate with hot, humid summers and cold, if generally milder-than-northern-PA, winters — create exactly that. A blend of dense urban rowhome construction and larger suburban single-family homes, nearly all with basements. 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.
