Termite Control for Pungo Homes

Pungo's farmhouses and outbuildings sit on damp, low-lying ground drained by an old network of field ditches, and that constant soil moisture is ideal for eastern subterranean termites.

On a rural parcel the inspection has to cover every structure, not just the house.

Much of the older housing out here is crawl-space or pier construction, and the shaded, moist ground under a farmhouse near Muddy Creek Road gives termites a straight shot up the piers to the sill and floor joists. The drainage ditches that keep the fields workable also keep the surrounding soil wet, and wet soil supports far larger colonies than dry ground. Barns, sheds, and equipment buildings with wood set right on or in the ground are prime targets, and because they are checked far less often than the house, colonies there run for years unnoticed. Woodpiles, fence posts, and landscape timbers add more wood-to-ground contact across the parcel. The low water table near the Back Bay side means moisture is almost never the limiting factor for a colony out here. A single infested outbuilding can seed the whole homestead over time.

Rural termite work means treating and watching more than the main house, so we walk the outbuildings, barns, and every wood-to-ground contact together with the crawl space. On pier and crawl-space structures we check the piers and sill closely, ease the ground moisture and clearance wherever the space permits, and choose a method built around the route the colony is climbing. Where open grade allows an unbroken trench, liquid termiticide at the footing shuts the soil path right away; where a barn or dense planting blocks it, Sentricon stations pull foragers into bait until the colony dies. Each approach carries recurring monitoring, and we photograph the piers and sills of every structure so the file reflects the real conditions on your parcel. So long as the agreement is kept up, the Termite-Free Guarantee backs the work.
