Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Trevor's conditions — a continental climate where both summer warmth and severe winter cold define the year, more so in the north than the south — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from historic dairy-farm homes to newer lake-country cabins, with basements standard throughout. 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.
