Subterranean Termites are the most destructive insect in the world. In the United States, they do billions of dollars in damage. In nature, termites serve as housekeepers of the desert, consuming and breaking down decaying wood. On the other hand, in the urban environment, these termites feed on the wood in the home including lumber, drywall paper, cardboard, furniture, or any cellulose material.
Structures are an ideal food source for these insects. In addition, many home irrigation systems serve as a much-needed moisture source for termites.
Typical evidence of termite activity looks like mud shelter tubes. These tubes are used as roadways into the structure for termites to forage on the wood and return to the soil where they live. Shelter tubes typically can be found on the exterior stem wall, interior drywall, or drop down from the ceiling. Upon discovery of termite activity, a termite treatment will need to be done to protect the home.
Treatment of termites will depend upon the construction of the home and the personal preferences of the homeowner. There are two treatment options; a conventional liquid treatment or a termite baiting system.
Liquid termiticides are chemical barriers applied around the property intended to repel or kill termites that come in contact with the barrier.
The Sentricon Baiting System is designed to eliminate all the termites attacking the structure. With no termites, barriers become unnecessary.
