Cazadero's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame homes dominate here, many older and prone to moisture issues given the region's heavy year-round rainfall. Combined with the local climate — a climate defined by persistent moisture and fog, a sharp contrast to California's dry-summer reputation — 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.
