Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Mcchord Afb's conditions — a mild four-season climate without harsh winter cold, but with genuinely wet conditions much of the year — create exactly that. Housing spans historic Seattle-area neighborhoods to newer suburban subdivisions, most built to handle sustained winter rainfall. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
