Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Hearne's conditions — a humid subtropical climate with intense summer heat and humidity, heavy rainfall, and a real hurricane season — create exactly that. Slab construction is standard here, built for heat and flood risk rather than winter cold. 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.
