Nome's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Slab construction is standard here, built for heat and flood risk rather than winter cold. Combined with the local climate — a humid subtropical climate with intense summer heat and humidity, heavy rainfall, and a real hurricane season — 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.
