Costa's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of older homes built into hillside and hollow terrain, many dating to the region's coal-mining boom, with wood-frame construction common throughout. Combined with the local climate — a mountain climate with genuine winter snow and cool summers, colder than the surrounding lowland states — 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.
