Randle's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing spans historic Seattle-area neighborhoods 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.
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.
