Valier's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Brick and frame construction from the steel era dominates, much of it built directly into the region's steep terrain. Combined with the local climate — a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers, cold snowy winters, and frequent overcast skies — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
