Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Maugansville's conditions — a cooler, wetter climate than the rest of the state, shaped by elevation and forest cover. — create exactly that. Older wood-frame homes dominate this mountainous region, many with basements given the colder winters. 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.
