Litchfield's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing spans historic foothill-town construction to newer resort-area homes built for heavy snow. Combined with the local climate — a mountain climate ranging from moderate foothill winters to genuinely severe conditions near Lake Tahoe — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
