Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Boulder City's conditions — a desert climate defined by extreme summer heat and very low humidity, with a short, mild winter — create exactly that. A dense mix of stucco tract homes on concrete slabs, ranging from 1990s-2000s construction to newer builds on the valley's expanding edge. 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.
