Otter Rock's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing spans historic Willamette Valley farmhouses to newer suburban subdivisions, most built to handle sustained winter rainfall. Combined with the local climate — a mild four-season climate without harsh winter cold, but with genuinely wet conditions much of the year — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
