Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Brighton's conditions — a semi-arid climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year, hot summers, cold winters, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings — create exactly that. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate here, built for the region's cold winters and dry climate. 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.
