Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Litchfield Park's conditions — a hot, low-desert climate with brutally hot summers — 110°F+ is routine from June through August — and mild, dry winters — create exactly that. Single-story and two-story stucco homes on slab foundations dominate, with irrigated or xeriscaped yards and block walls in place of basements. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
