Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Fort Mohave's conditions — one of the hottest climates in the country, tempered only slightly by the river's presence, with summer heat that regularly tops 115°F — create exactly that. Slab-on-grade stucco and manufactured homes built for extreme heat, many oriented around riverfront or canal-adjacent recreational communities. 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.
