Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Orefield's conditions — a four-season climate typical of the Pennsylvania mountains, with more snow than the Philadelphia area — create exactly that. Historic rowhomes and twin homes from the coal and industrial era, alongside newer construction in the Lehigh Valley's logistics corridor. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
