Termite control is important if you are noticing signs of termite infestation in your house. The main target of termites is wood but they can also cause injury to many various items in the house. Once you notice any sign of infestation at each, you must take the steps to control the situation as quickly as possible.
Termite control is best accomplished with the assistance of a specialist. Some knowledge of building construction is important to find possible areas of damage and infestation. Normally, some of those spots can never be identified by the usual homeowner. Proper treatment also calls for certain tools like tanks, drills, and pumps.
There are two major kinds of termite treatment, one uses liquid pesticides, and the other uses baits. Liquid pesticides are injected into the ground surrounding and underneath the home. Employing curtain rods, the liquid is transferred to the earth surrounding, within, and underneath the foundations. This produces a chemical wall between the soil and the home so that the termites are unable to enter the building and these already in the home are unable to reach the ground. When termites in the home cannot get back to the soil they die off.
The other method is using baits. Baits for termites are situated under the ground to draw in the termites. What the termites don't know is that the bait also contains chemicals that will slowly eradicate them when eaten.
So which termite control method works great? Well, there isn't one answer that fits all. Oftentimes, the most reliable method is to use a combination of many methods. This can be costly but worth the investment as you protect the value of your house and company.
