Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Duncan's conditions — a high-desert climate moderated by elevation, with genuine monsoon rainfall and less extreme heat than the low desert — create exactly that. Housing here often sits on hillside terrain and spans early mining-company construction through later ranch-style and newer homes. 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.
