Sisters's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Ranch-style homes dominate this dry landscape, built for cold winters rather than the persistent rain seen west of the Cascades. Combined with the local climate — a semi-arid climate shaped by the Cascade rain shadow, with hot summers and genuinely cold winters — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
