Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Elmer City's conditions — a semi-arid climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters, a sharp contrast to the wet climate west of the Cascades — create exactly that. A mix of established agricultural-town homes and newer suburban growth around Spokane and the Tri-Cities. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
