Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Crested Butte's conditions — a climate defined by elevation, where snow can linger for months and summers stay cool even in July — create exactly that. Wood-frame mountain homes and condominiums dominate here, built to handle heavy, prolonged snowfall. 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.
