Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Rancocas's conditions — a humid climate with a long summer season and coastal-moderated winters — create exactly that. A blend of historic river-town construction, coastal shore homes built for salt air and storms, and rural south Jersey farmhouses. 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.
