Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Alviso's conditions — a mild, dry-summer Mediterranean climate with the region's famous fog shaping local weather patterns — create exactly that. Older established neighborhoods sit alongside significant new high-density development driven by the area's tech-fueled growth. 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.
