Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Newton's conditions — a climate shaped by this region's southern latitude, warmer overall than Atlanta or north Georgia — create exactly that. Wood-frame farmhouses dominate this rural landscape, built for the region's long, hot growing season. 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.
