Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Somers's conditions — a humid continental climate with colder winters than the coast, hot summers, and genuine seasonal extremes — create exactly that. A blend of established rural communities and newer suburban construction across this inland region. 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.
