Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Laneview's conditions — a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters, typical of the Mid-Atlantic — create exactly that. Basements are standard here given the region's winter cold, alongside a significant share of newer multi-family construction. 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.
