West Middlesex's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing here ranges from historic mill and mining-town construction to modest rural homes, most with basements. Combined with the local climate — a climate shaped by elevation and, near Erie, lake-effect weather patterns off Lake Erie — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
