Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Trent's conditions — a semi-arid to arid climate with hot summers, cold winters, low humidity, and significant day-to-night temperature swings — create exactly that. A blend of older rural West Texas homes and desert-adapted construction near El Paso. 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.
