Termite Treatment

Chemical Treatment:

Chemical treatments are one of the most common methods of termite treatment. Liquid termiticides are applied to the soil around the foundation of the property, creating a barrier that prevents termites from entering the building. This method is effective in controlling and preventing termite infestations. However, it is important to choose a chemical treatment that is appropriate for the specific type of termite and the severity of the infestation. In addition, it is important to follow the instructions and guidelines provided by the pest control professional to ensure the treatment is effective.

Baiting Systems:

Baiting systems are another effective method of termite treatment. The baiting systems consist of bait stations that are placed around the property. The stations contain a food source that termites are attracted to, and once they consume the bait, they die. This method is a more gradual and environmentally friendly approach to controlling termites. It is important to regularly inspect the bait stations and replace the bait as needed.

Fumigation:

Fumigation is a process where the entire building is sealed and filled with a poisonous gas, killing all termites within the structure. This method is effective in controlling a severe termite infestation and can reach all areas of the building, including the walls and attics. However, fumigation is a more intrusive and expensive process, and the building must be evacuated during the treatment.

Physical Barriers:

Physical barriers such as metal flashing, treated lumber, and foam insulation can be used to prevent termites from entering the building. This method is a preventative measure that can be implemented during construction or remodeling. It is important to choose a barrier that is appropriate for the specific type of termite and the building materials used.
