Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Vincennes's conditions — a climate shaped by the Ohio River valley, warmer overall than Indianapolis or Fort Wayne — create exactly that. Older brick and wood-frame homes are common throughout this region, from Evansville's river neighborhoods to Bloomington's university district. 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.
