Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Ovid's conditions — a dry, windy climate where both summer heat and winter cold are taken seriously. — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from historic farm construction to modest rural homes, with basements standard. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
