Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Salisbury Mills's conditions — a four-season climate with real winter cold and heavy snow, especially farther north toward the Adirondacks — create exactly that. A mix of historic colonial and Federal-era homes along the Hudson River and newer suburban development around Albany, most with basements. 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.
