Congress's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of older mining-era homes, mid-century ranch houses, and newer construction on wooded or high-desert lots, often with basements or crawl spaces unlike the low desert. Combined with the local climate — a transitional climate between the low desert and the mountains — real winters, warm but not brutal summers, and enough elevation to matter — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
