Benjamin's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of older agricultural-town homes and newer construction tied to the region's oil and gas economy, most on slab foundations. Combined with the local climate — a true desert climate near El Paso, with a drier, higher-elevation climate across the rest of West Texas and the Panhandle — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
