Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Mosquero's conditions — a high, dry, windy climate with cold winters and mild summers typical of the New Mexico high plains — create exactly that. Ranch-style homes are the regional standard, built for a climate where winter defines the housing approach as much as summer does. 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.
