The rocky and sandy loam holds the moisture the pests need, the the Rockies, the high plains, and river valleys offers shelter, and the semi-arid climate extends the active season. The homes near the the North Platte and Green rivers and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

• Keep soil and mulch graded back from the foundation.
• Fix downspouts and low spots that hold water against the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does a baiting system work?

Stations go into the soil around the foundation, and foraging workers feed on a treated cellulose bait and carry it back to the colony. The colony thins out over weeks. Baiting suits homes where trenching the full perimeter is impractical.

Q: Do I need a termite inspection before buying a house in Buffalo?

Lenders require a wood-destroying organism inspection on most sales, and buyers should order one regardless. The report documents activity and damage in the crawl space, slab edge, or framing.

Q: How long does a termite treatment hold up?

A liquid barrier stays effective for five to ten years when properly applied, and a baiting system keeps working as long as the stations are serviced. The annual re-inspection keeps the record current.

Q: Why are termites so common in Buffalo?

The soil and the climate in Johnson keep the ground around foundations damp through most of the year, and the native subterranean species never get a hard winter shutdown. Swarm season peaks in the spring after warm rain.

Q: How much does termite treatment cost in Buffalo?

A liquid barrier runs $1,200 to $3,000 for a typical Buffalo home, and a baiting system runs $1,000 to $2,200 installed. The inspection is free, and the WDO report is written before any treatment is proposed.
