Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Keno's conditions — a semi-arid climate shaped by the Cascade rain shadow, with hot summers and genuinely cold winters — create exactly that. Ranch-style homes dominate this dry landscape, built for cold winters rather than the persistent rain seen west of the Cascades. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
