Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Plattsmouth's conditions — a continental climate with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, standard for the Omaha metro area — create exactly that. Suburban subdivisions built over the past few decades dominate, nearly all with basements given the region's cold winters. 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.
