Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Sebago's conditions — a coastal climate moderated by the Gulf of Maine, with cold winters and cool, pleasant summers — create exactly that. A blend of historic coastal architecture and newer development, with basements standard given the cold winters. 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.
