Termite control and treatments

Baiting stations

Due to their nature, baiting stations are an environmentally friendly termite control solution causing almost no inconvenience to homeowners. This treatment offers peace of mind, as the bait stations continue to prevent future termites from entering your home.

Bait stations are child and pet-resistant. The active ingredient in a termite bait station eliminates termites by disrupting a molting process that occurs only in insects and closely related organisms.

How termite bait stations work:

• Bait stations are installed around the perimeter of your home.
• While foraging for food, termites will find the bait stations and take bait back to the colony.
• Once the bait spreads, active termites are gradually eliminated.
• Your Technician will periodically inspect for activity and to replace bait.

Targeted termites:

• Subterranean termites
• Formosan termites

Liquid treatments

Liquid treatment application is a proactive and curative solution that involves applying treatment to your yard and the outer foundation of your home. This treatment method protects the perimeter of your property.

As termites dig through toward your house, they come in contact with the liquid treatment. When they return to their colony, they transfer the treatment to other termites, eliminating them.

How liquid treatment works:

• Liquid treatment is applied to the soil along the outer foundation wall of your home.
• As termites forage for food, they come into contact with treatment.
• Sometimes, the treatment will kill the termites on contact.
• When termites return to the colony, they spread the treatment.

Targeted termites:

• Subterranean termites
• Formosan termites

Spot treatments

Spot treatments are treatments that address localized termite concerns inside your home. Spot treatments include wood/slab applications or drilling treatments that focus on addressing specific threats to the wood structures of your house.

While a spot treatment is more invasive than a bait station, it is less invasive than house fumigation. This option is typically used for more urgent termite infestations that affect the inside of your home.

This option may involve drilling directly into wood to apply the product.

How spot treatment works:

• Product is applied directly into wood supports or slabs inside your home.
• Termites feed on treated wood with the product and take it back to the colony.
• Your Technician will perform periodic inspections and reinforce the protective treatment application as needed.

Targeted termites:

• Subterranean termites
• Drywood termites
• Formosan termites

How home fumigation works:

• The affected property is sealed off and filled with a pesticide gas.
• The gas is held at a high concentration for enough time to poison or suffocate any termites.
• Your technician confirms sufficient fumigation time and exposure.
• The fumigation tent is vented, leaving no surface residue left behind.

Targeted termites:

• Drywood termites
