Gypsum's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Mountain-style construction is the norm here, designed around the region's heavy and long-lasting snowpack. Combined with the local climate — a high-elevation alpine climate with heavy winter snowfall and short, cool summers, far colder than the Front Range — 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.
