Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Peetz's conditions — a dry, windy climate where both summer heat and winter cold are taken seriously. — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from historic farm construction to modest rural homes, with basements standard. 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.
