Termites are among the world’s most destructive pests, causing more than $1 billion worth of damage in the United States every year – that’s more than floods, fires and hurricanes combined! It is important that you make sure to keep your home clear of brush and debris, and periodically inspect your home’s structure for rotten beams; this eliminates the options available for termites to infest, nest and breed on your property.
At Pest Control Unlimited, we offer two types of treatments to repel termites and help you reclaim your home if you are dealing with an infestation: conventional liquid barriers and baiting systems.
Conventional Liquid Barriers: Just as it infers, the conventional liquid barrier method uses a chemical mixture injected into the soil around the perimeter of your home to create a barrier around your home’s foundation. This method, which has been in use for many years, helps to repel termites and kill those who are brave enough to try to breach the barrier.
Baiting Systems: While liquid barriers work to repel termites from entering a home, baiting systems work to reduce the size of foraging colonies. Less termites means less potential for infestation and destruction. For this method, bait stations are placed around your home for unsuspecting foragers to contract and spread active chemicals to their colonies through food-sharing. For best results, bait stations must be regulated and replenished by a pest management professional on a monthly basis.
Though both types of termite control treatments are effective, your home might be more suitable for one or the other, or both!
