Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Scotland, a four-season New England climate without the Sound's moderating effect, meaning colder winters than the shoreline, and A mix of historic farmhouses and mid-century suburban homes, most with basements given the colder inland winters. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
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.
