Roseau's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame farmhouses dominate this rural landscape, built for some of the harshest winters in the lower 48. Combined with the local climate — a climate defined by extreme seasonal swings, with short growing seasons and genuinely dangerous winter cold — 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.
