Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Mayfield's conditions — an arid to semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters, varying from warm low-desert terrain to colder high-elevation valleys — create exactly that. Wood-frame homes on larger rural lots dominate here, from historic farm construction to newer recreation-driven development. 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.
