Redford's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Older brick and wood-frame homes built during the region's auto-manufacturing boom, most with basements to handle harsh winters. Combined with the local climate — a four-season climate typical of the Great Lakes region, with real winter cold and consistent summer humidity — 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.
