Termites don't announce themselves the way most pests do. In Bend, a high-desert climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters, a sharp contrast to the wet climate west of the Cascades, and Wood-frame homes with basements are common here, built for winter cold in a climate defined by dryness rather than moisture. Regular inspection is the only reliable way to catch a colony before it causes real structural damage.
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.
