Termite Control Methods:

Liquid Termiticides (Barrier Treatments) – Creates a chemical barrier around the foundation to kill and repel termites.

Termite Baiting Systems – Uses bait stations strategically placed around the property to attract and eliminate termite colonies.

Fumigation (Tent Treatment) – Effective for severe drywood termite infestations by using gas to penetrate wood and eliminate termites.

Wood Treatment – Preventative chemical treatments applied directly to wood to deter termites.Soil Treatment – Treating the soil around a structure with termiticides to prevent subterranean termite infestations.

Heat Treatment – Raising the temperature inside infested wood to lethal levels to eradicate termites.

Borate Wood Treatments – Applying borate-based solutions to wood for long-term termite resistance.

Termite Prevention Strategies:

Regular Termite Inspections – Schedule annual professional inspections to catch infestations early. Reduce Moisture Levels – Fix leaks, improve drainage, and use dehumidifiers to prevent termites from thriving. Maintain Proper Landscaping – Keep firewood, mulch, and dense vegetation away from the foundation. Seal Entry Points – Close cracks in foundations, windows, and walls to block termite access. Use Termite-Resistant Materials – Opt for treated wood, metal, or concrete in construction. Install Physical Barriers – Stainless steel mesh or sand barriers can prevent subterranean termites from tunneling. Maintain Proper Ventilation – Ensure crawl spaces and attics are well-ventilated to avoid wood moisture buildup. Pre-Construction Termite Treatment – Treat the soil and wood before building a new structure to provide long-term protection.
