Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Scribner's conditions — a four-season climate with real extremes — hot summers, cold winters, and everything in between — create exactly that. A mix of older farmhouses and modest ranch homes on the flat prairie, most built with basements to handle harsh winters. 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.
