Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Vernal's conditions — a mountain-basin climate with cold winters and warm, dry summers, drier than the ski towns but colder than the valley floor — create exactly that. Housing here ranges from high-end mountain resort construction to modest homes in energy-industry basin towns. 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.
