Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Mount Sherman's conditions — a four-season climate shaped by the Ohio River valley, with hot summers and genuine winter cold — create exactly that. A mix of established suburban neighborhoods, historic small towns, and newer subdivisions on former Bluegrass farmland, most with basements. 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.
