Caruthers's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Stucco and wood-frame homes dominate here, built for a climate with minimal temperature extremes. Combined with the local climate — a mild Mediterranean climate with cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, moderated year-round by the Pacific — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
