Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Troy's conditions — a four-season climate more humid than central Kansas, with real winter cold and hot, sticky summers — create exactly that. A mix of older farmhouses, mid-century suburban homes, and newer subdivisions near the Kansas City metro, most with basements. 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.
