Pavilion's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Older brick and wood-frame homes built during the region's industrial boom, most with basements to handle heavy snow load. Combined with the local climate — a four-season climate defined by Great Lakes lake-effect weather, with dramatically higher snow totals than most of the Northeast — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
