Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Severy's conditions — a semi-arid to sub-humid climate with real seasonal extremes and frequent spring severe weather — create exactly that. A mix of older farmhouses and modest small-town homes, most built with basements to handle harsh winters and severe weather. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
