Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Robson's conditions — a humid continental climate moderated by elevation, with cold, snowy winters and mild summers typical of the Appalachian Mountains — create exactly that. A blend of historic coal-camp construction and modest newer homes, both shaped by the region's steep, forested terrain. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
