Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Wanamingo, a humid continental climate with warm, humid summers and some of the coldest, snowiest winters of any major U.S. metro, and Full basements are standard here, a near-universal response to the region's genuinely harsh winters. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
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.
