Oostburg's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A blend of older agricultural-area homes and forest or lake-adjacent cabins, built with real winter cold in mind. Combined with the local climate — a humid continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers, colder in the north than the southeastern corridor — 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.
