Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Hopkinton, a four-season New England climate with real winter cold and snow, and hot, humid summers, and Dense triple-decker and multi-family housing dominates in the urban core, alongside single-family suburban homes further out, most with basements. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
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.
