DeQuincy grew up as a railroad town, and much of its housing reflects that era: wood frame, raised foundations and decades of additions. Those structures have more ways in than modern slab construction, and the surrounding pine woods keep termites, rodents and wildlife supplied. Our work here starts with a careful look under and around the building.
Older wood-frame construction and pine surroundings are a natural fit for subterranean termites. We inspect sills, piers, joists and any ground-contact wood, then treat and monitor so slow damage is caught before it becomes structural.
Raised foundations give pests a sheltered path along the underside of the house. We get into those spaces, look for moisture, damaged wood and rodent runways, and tell you what is driving the activity rather than only treating the symptom.
Decades of additions, utility runs and settling leave gaps that rodents find quickly. We seal the openings we find, address the harborage close to the foundation, and monitor so a recurring problem finally stops recurring.
Older roofs, open eaves and nearby trees make attics easy for squirrels and raccoons to reach. We remove them, close the access points, and clean up the contamination left behind.
