Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Swayzee's conditions — a humid climate with hot summers and winters cold enough for sustained snow cover — create exactly that. Housing spans century-old agricultural construction to newer suburban development around Indianapolis. 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.
