Orleans's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing spans historic timber-town construction to newer homes, all built to handle sustained coastal moisture. Combined with the local climate — a cool, moist climate that supports the region's famous redwood forests — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
