Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Roxton's conditions — a climate with real summer heat, generally mild winters, and Tornado Alley severe weather each spring — create exactly that. A mix of established mid-century neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban subdivisions, most on slab foundations over expansive clay soil. 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.
