Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and West Ossipee's conditions — a four-season climate with real winter cold, moderated slightly compared to the White Mountains further north — create exactly that. A mix of historic mill-town homes and newer suburban subdivisions tied to the region's Boston-exurb growth, most with basements. 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.
