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.
Why do Cavendish homes have more termites problems?
Cavendish's proximity to water creates humidity that termites thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
