Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and New Windsor's conditions — a humid continental climate moderated by elevation, with colder winters and cooler summers than the rest of Maryland — create exactly that. A blend of historic rural construction and newer homes, both shaped by the region's hilly, forested terrain. 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.
