Haysi's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Older wood-frame homes dominate much of this mountainous region, many with basements built for genuine winter cold. Combined with the local climate — a cooler, wetter climate than the rest of the state, shaped by elevation and forest cover — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
