Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Zephyr Cove's conditions — a Sierra Nevada mountain climate with heavy winter snowpack and mild, pleasant summers — create exactly that. Wood-frame homes and mountain cabins built for heavy snow loads, many on forested lots with basements or crawl spaces. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
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.
