Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Forest Knolls's conditions — a climate defined by the Bay's moderating effect, rarely too hot or too cold at any point in the year — create exactly that. Housing here spans historic wood-frame homes to newer high-density apartment and condo construction throughout the region. 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.
