Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Wevertown's conditions — a climate shaped by the Hudson River valley, moderating slightly compared to the more severe winters of the Adirondack high country — create exactly that. Older stone and clapboard farmhouses are common throughout the valley, alongside government-corridor suburban growth near Albany. 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.
