Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Kim's conditions — a climate defined by elevation, where snow can linger for months and summers stay cool even in July — create exactly that. Wood-frame mountain homes and condominiums dominate here, built to handle heavy, prolonged snowfall. 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.
