Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Naselle's conditions — a temperate marine climate with heavy fall-through-spring rainfall and comfortable, mild summers — create exactly that. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer suburban construction, many without air conditioning given the historically mild summers, and prone to moisture issues given the rain. 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.
