Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Shingle Springs's conditions — an inland valley climate far hotter in summer and foggier in winter than California's coastal regions — create exactly that. Housing spans historic agricultural-town homes to newer suburban subdivisions around the valley's larger cities. 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.
