Covelo's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing spans historic timber-town construction to newer homes, all built to handle sustained coastal moisture. Combined with the local climate — a cool, moist climate that supports the region's famous redwood forests — 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.
