Powersite's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of historic hill-country homes and Springfield-area suburban development, many built into the region's hilly, karst terrain. Combined with the local climate — a climate that behaves somewhat like the upper South, with shorter, milder winters than Kansas City or St. Louis — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
