Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Lacombe's conditions — a climate defined by water at every turn — bayous, marsh, and Gulf humidity all combine here — create exactly that. Raised, pier-foundation construction is the norm given constant flood risk from surrounding bayous and marsh. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
