Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Waynesville's conditions — a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers and winters milder than northern Ohio, given the region's more southern position — create exactly that. Brick and wood-frame construction from the region's industrial era dominates, alongside newer suburban growth. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
