Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Ojo Feliz's conditions — a high-mountain climate with cold, snowy winters and mild, short summers, far colder than the Albuquerque valley below — create exactly that. A blend of historic Hispanic land-grant village homes and newer mountain-style construction throughout this high country. 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.
