Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Wilmer's conditions — a climate with real summer heat, generally mild winters, and Tornado Alley severe weather each spring — create exactly that. A mix of established mid-century neighborhoods and rapidly expanding new suburban subdivisions, most on slab foundations over expansive clay soil. 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.
