Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Hewitt's conditions — a climate defined by extreme seasonal swings, with short growing seasons and genuinely dangerous winter cold — create exactly that. Wood-frame farmhouses dominate this rural landscape, built for some of the harshest winters in the lower 48. 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.
