Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Kinney's conditions — a climate where winter cold is taken seriously, with sustained snow cover most years from December through March — create exactly that. A blend of established mid-century suburbs and current new-home construction pushing outward from the Twin Cities. 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.
