Nickerson's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing here is largely newer suburban construction, reflecting the Omaha metro's steady population growth in recent decades. Combined with the local climate — a continental climate with a full range of seasonal extremes typical of the eastern Nebraska plains — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
