Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Colton's conditions — a low-desert climate defined by extreme summer heat and a short, comfortable, tourism-driven winter season — create exactly that. A dense mix of stucco tract homes and resort condominiums, most built on concrete slabs with irrigated desert landscaping. 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.
