Grants Pass's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame homes dominate here, many older and built with crawl spaces vulnerable to the region's persistent winter moisture. Combined with the local climate — a climate defined by a long, gray rainy season and a dry, pleasant summer, typical of western Oregon — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
