Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Lowland's conditions — a climate shaped by elevation and coastal proximity, warm and humid in the Piedmont and coast, cooler and wetter in the mountains — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from newer Charlotte metro subdivisions to historic mountain cabins to coastal farmhouses. 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.
