Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Omega's conditions — a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers, mild winters, and real hurricane season exposure along the coast — create exactly that. Crawl-space construction is common near the coast, given the high water table typical of Georgia's lowcountry. 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.
