Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Hubbell's conditions — a four-season climate with real extremes — hot summers, cold winters, and everything in between — create exactly that. A mix of older farmhouses and modest ranch homes on the flat prairie, most built with basements to handle harsh winters. 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.
