Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Kemmerer's conditions — a semi-arid climate defined by wind, elevation, and real winter cold, with summers that stay cool even in July — create exactly that. A mix of older ranch homes and newer wood-frame construction, most built with basements to handle harsh winter cold, spread across large rural parcels. 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.
