Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Many Farms's conditions — a high, dry climate with far colder winters than the Phoenix valley and a wide daily temperature range typical of high-desert plateau country — create exactly that. Housing here is spread across a wide, sparsely populated area and includes traditional homes, manufactured housing, and newer tribal-built developments. 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.
