West Warwick's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Dense triple-decker homes and older multi-family housing dominate, much of it built before 1940 with old plumbing, tight construction, and basements. Combined with the local climate — a four-season New England climate with real winter cold and snow, and warm, occasionally muggy summers — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
