Maynard's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing spans centuries-old urban construction to newer suburban subdivisions throughout the metro area. Combined with the local climate — a humid climate with a long summer season and winters that bring real, sustained cold and snow. — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
