Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Ute Park's conditions — a high-mountain climate with cold, snowy winters and mild, short summers, far colder than the Albuquerque valley below — create exactly that. A blend of historic Hispanic land-grant village homes and newer mountain-style construction throughout this high country. 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.
