Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Wardsboro's conditions — a high-elevation mountain climate with heavy winter snowfall and short, cool summers, colder than the Champlain Valley below — create exactly that. Mountain cabin and home construction dominates, designed around the region's heavy and long-lasting snowpack. 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.
