Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Saint Marks's conditions — a hot, humid summer climate with winters mild enough that a hard freeze is still possible. — create exactly that. Housing spans historic river-town homes to newer suburban development throughout North Florida. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
