Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Holliston's conditions — a humid climate with a long summer season and winters that bring real, sustained cold and snow. — create exactly that. Housing spans centuries-old urban construction to newer suburban subdivisions throughout the metro area. 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.
