Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Lyon's conditions — a hot, humid Delta climate where high water tables and flat terrain keep moisture-driven pest pressure elevated most of the year — create exactly that. A mix of older wood-frame farmhouses on flat Delta farmland and modest ranch homes in small town centers, many with crawl spaces vulnerable to moisture. 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.
