Arvada's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate here, built for the region's cold winters and dry climate. Combined with the local climate — a semi-arid climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year, hot summers, cold winters, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
