Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Fruita's conditions — a high-elevation alpine climate with heavy winter snowfall and short, cool summers, far colder than the Front Range — create exactly that. Mountain-style construction is the norm here, designed around the region's heavy and long-lasting snowpack. 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.
