Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Tyaskin's conditions — a humid subtropical climate moderated by the Chesapeake Bay, with hot, humid summers and mild winters — create exactly that. Wood-frame homes on crawl spaces are common here, given the high water table typical of the Eastern Shore. 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.
