Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Red Bay's conditions — Alabama has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers, mild winters, and high annual rainfall, favoring year-round pest activity. — create exactly that. Typical rural Alabama housing mix of older frame homes, mobile homes, and modest newer construction. 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.
