Laramie's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Ranch-style homes with basements are the regional standard, built for a climate where winter, not summer, is the defining season. Combined with the local climate — a high, dry, and windy climate with cold, harsh winters and mild, short summers, typical of the Wyoming high plains — 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.
