Valdez's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. A mix of traditional adobe homes, historic land-grant village construction, and newer mountain-style builds, most with real winter insulation. Combined with the local climate — a four-season alpine-adjacent climate with real winter snowpack and a brief, pleasant summer — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
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.
