Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Chino's conditions — a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, with coastal areas moderated by ocean influence — create exactly that. A blend of established coastal and inland-valley neighborhoods, most built on slab foundations given the region's mild 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.
