Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Longville's conditions — a climate where deep winter cold and heavy snow are simply a fact of life most years — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from historic farm and Iron Range mining-town construction to modest small-town homes, basements standard. 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.
