Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Bellemont's conditions — a four-season mountain climate that shares almost nothing with the desert floor below — cold winters, mild summers, and heavy forest cover — create exactly that. Housing leans toward wood-frame cabins and homes designed for winter weather, spread across forested lots well above 5,000 feet. 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.
