Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Alberta's conditions — a humid continental climate with brief, warm summers and long, brutally cold winters, more severe than the Twin Cities the farther north you go — create exactly that. A blend of older agricultural-area homes and small-town construction spread across this sparsely populated region. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
