Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Post Falls's conditions — a Pacific-influenced inland climate with snowy winters and mild, green summers, distinct from the drier high desert further south — create exactly that. A mix of wood-frame family homes and lakefront cabins, most built with basements to handle the region's cold, snowy winters. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
