The goal of a termite treatment is to apply a termite product to the area immediately below and around your foundation. Foam can also be applied to wall voids to control termites there. The treatment can either work as a barrier with the goal of keeping termites away, or as a “treated area” through which termites travel and are eliminated. We feel treated area termite products work much more effectively.

How is the treatment done??

3. Your termite technician will use a combination of wall foaming, trenching
and drilling in order to protect your home. He will inject the drill holes
and fill the trenches with the best termite product available. As the soil
absorbs the product (our products bond tighter to the soil than others
providing longer protection) the treated zone is created.

4. Why treating wood or mud tubes does not
work!Termites can build a mud tube at the rate of 1 inch
per hour. If you destroy the tube (breaking it off
or spraying pesticides) they may build it back or they
may find a better entrance to your home. If they find
a better entrance and that entrance is out of sight, you
may think your problem is gone. In reality, you still
have termites. The same concept applies to treating
the wood. While this is possible and may eliminate
the termites in that area, they more likely will find
other wood to eat. Treating the soil under your home
is the most effective way to eliminate Subterranean
Termites.

5. Pictures of a termite treatment in process:
Here we pulled back the carpet
and drilled around the wet bar
area. Drilling or wall foaming is
required around plumbing areas
because the pipes provide access
through your foundation and
moisture. Termite product will be
applied to the soil using this hole.
Not treating all plumbing areas
would be a mistake.

6. After the termite product is
applied to the soil under your
foundation using these holes, they
are then plugged and sealed. The
area is now fully protected from
termites. The carpet is tacked
back to the floor and the area is
cleaned. We try to disturb your
home as little as possible and we
keep our work areas clean.

7. We are using foam around the
windows here. The foam will
expand inside the wall void and
protect these windows from
termites and ants. Foaming
equipment is one of serveral
tools we use to provide the best
termite protection.

8. Here we are treating the soil
under the foundation at the
side of the home. Each trench
is filled with termite product,
the product seeps into the
ground, then the trench is
backfilled with treated soil.
