Bloomington's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Slab-on-grade stucco homes and resort-style construction dominate, built for extreme heat with irrigated landscaping common around golf-course communities. Combined with the local climate — one of the hottest, driest climates in the country, with a large seasonal population drawn by mild winters — 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.
