Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
Borate wood treatments protect structures and eliminate colonies in treated wood. Physical barriers prevent soil contact. Monitoring stations detect activity early. We address moisture conditions that attract termites. Comprehensive inspection identifies extent of infestation. For Atkinson's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are termites common in Vermont and New Hampshire?
Subterranean termites exist throughout Vermont and New Hampshire, though populations are lower than southern states due to shorter warm seasons. Risk is real, especially in southern regions and in homes with moisture problems or wood-to-soil contact.
How quickly do termites damage a house?
Termite damage is gradual—a typical colony may eat about a pound of wood per week. Serious structural damage usually takes 3-8 years to develop. However, established colonies grow exponentially. Annual inspections catch problems before significant damage occurs.
Can you treat termites in Atkinson's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Atkinson properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
