Halsey's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer suburban construction, most without air conditioning given the historically mild summers, and prone to moisture issues given the rain. Combined with the local climate — a temperate marine-influenced climate with heavy winter rainfall and comfortable, mild summers — 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.
