Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Sandia Park's conditions — a dry, sunny climate with four real seasons, milder in summer than Phoenix but colder in winter — create exactly that. Adobe-style and stucco homes are common here, ranging from historic Rio Grande valley construction to newer suburban builds. 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.
