Termite Treatments
Termite Treatment
When considering effective termite treatment options, it is important to first identify the source of the termite problem in your home. Professional termite monitoring systems are designed to detect subterranean termites foraging in the soil near your home and help pinpoint termite extermination. When properly installed and maintained, termite monitoring systems can detect termites before they damage your home. Effective termite treatment – implemented before these pests infest a structure – can reduce the amount of time needed for control, and can prevent the need for costly repairs to your house.
Many people still believe that termites randomly forage for their food hoping to blindly come across a smorgasbord. At PestBear we believe termites are smarter than that especially since they’ve managed to live for over 50 million years. Scientific research has shown that termites utilize thermal sensing to detect moisture and follow it, anticipating a food source. In your neighborhood, this food source is often your house, and the best way to maintain the integrity and safety of your home is to schedule termite extermination.
As one type of termite treatment option, you can consider using a liquid non-repellant and baiting station to attract and eradicate termites. Through PestBear’s subterranean termite treatments, termites will be drawn to the liquid toxicant and ingest or absorb the poison. They will unknowingly carry the toxin back to the other members of the colony, and infect other termites, causing complete colony collapse. This method is extremely effective and recommended for most homes in Florida. Termite extermination is the best way to ensure the complete removal of existing termites, and eradication of future colonies.
Termite Extermination
For effective termite extermination, non-repellant liquids or chitin inhibitors are the best as they cannot be detected by termites. The termites cannot smell, taste, or identify these termite treatment products upon entering a treated zone. The chemical is transported back to the colony – diminishing or eliminating it. Chitin inhibitors are slow acting, and do not allow the termites to molt. Since termites molt or shed monthly, this procedure radically alters the society, rendering termites helpless within a few months until they are totally eradicated. This termite extermination method can be extensive or minimal depending upon the conditions of the infestation. These are among the most popular and effective termite treatment options to gain control of a subterranean termite colony.
