Mappsville's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing here ranges from centuries-old Richmond-area homes to newer Hampton Roads suburban and military-adjacent construction. Combined with the local climate — a climate shaped by the region's river and bay geography, warmer overall than the mountains to the west — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
