Termite Control for Chic's Beach Homes

The tidal reach of the Chesapeake Bay keeps the water table high beneath Chic's Beach, and damp soil against a foundation is the one thing eastern subterranean termites want most.

Older cottages here rarely go a decade untouched.

Eastern subterranean termites are the local species, and the bay-side water table gives them the constant soil moisture that lets a colony thrive close to a house. On the block-pier and slab cottages near Vista Circle they build mud tubes up the foundation to reach sill plates and floor framing, while the tidal ditches along Lookout Road keep the surrounding ground wet enough that colonies rarely have to travel far for water. Many of these cottages have been enclosed, raised, or added onto over the years, and each of those changes tends to break the original soil barrier and open a hidden path to fresh wood. Salt-driven humidity in a shaded crawl keeps the framing at the moisture level a colony prefers. Most owners here get their first real warning when a springtime swarm of winged reproductives gathers on a bay-facing window, well after the colony has quietly been eating for seasons.

Which method we use depends on how the cottage meets its wet ground. Where we can trench the soil around a slab or crawl, a liquid barrier stops termites at the foundation immediately. Where a tight lot, bulkhead, or enclosed crawl blocks a clean trench, a perimeter of Sentricon stations lets the workers ferry bait home until the colony is wiped out. We check the sill, piers, and rim joists for live tubes and rot, treat every plumbing penetration into the crawl, and hand you photos of the actual conditions rather than a written summary. Off-the-shelf barrier products simply cannot hold against ground kept this saturated, which is why homeowner attempts fail near the bay. Our Termite-Free Guarantee protects the cottage the whole time the annual plan stays current.
