Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Arminto's conditions — a semi-arid climate defined by wind, elevation, and real winter cold, with summers that stay cool even in July — create exactly that. A mix of older ranch homes and newer wood-frame construction, most built with basements to handle harsh winter cold, spread across large rural parcels. 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.
