Niwot's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate here, built for the region's cold winters and dry climate. Combined with the local climate — a semi-arid climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year, hot summers, cold winters, and dramatic day-to-night temperature swings — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
