Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Suttons Bay, a climate shaped by proximity to Lake Michigan and, farther north, genuinely severe Upper Peninsula winters, and Housing here ranges from historic furniture-industry-era homes in Grand Rapids to rustic cabins and rural housing in the north and Upper Peninsula. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
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.
