Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Higley's conditions — a desert climate where summer heat is the dominant fact of life, and where mild winters mean pest pressure never really resets to zero — create exactly that. Stucco-and-block construction is the regional standard here, built directly on concrete slabs with block-wall property lines instead of wood fencing. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
