Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Second Mesa's conditions — a high, dry climate with far colder winters than the Phoenix valley and a wide daily temperature range typical of high-desert plateau country — create exactly that. Housing here is spread across a wide, sparsely populated area and includes traditional homes, manufactured housing, and newer tribal-built developments. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
