Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Moosup's conditions — a humid continental climate moderated by Long Island Sound, with cold winters and warm, humid summers — create exactly that. A blend of historic shoreline towns and newer suburban development, nearly all built with basements for the region's cold 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.
