Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Arapahoe's conditions — a semi-arid climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year, hot summers, cold winters, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings — create exactly that. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate here, built for the region's cold winters and dry climate. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
