Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Waretown's conditions — a climate shaped by proximity to the Atlantic and the Delaware River, milder in winter than the dense northern suburbs — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from centuries-old capital-region homes to newer shore-town and suburban development. 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.
