Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Moody's conditions — Humid subtropical climate of the Birmingham metro area, with hot summers and mild winters. — create exactly that. Fast-growing mix of newer suburban subdivisions and older homes; nearly half of Moody's housing was built after 2000. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
