Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Redlands's conditions — a low-desert climate defined by extreme summer heat and a short, comfortable, tourism-driven winter season — create exactly that. A dense mix of stucco tract homes and resort condominiums, most built on concrete slabs with irrigated desert landscaping. 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.
