Termite Treatment Methods

Trenching

Termites can secretly destroy a real estate investment faster than most pests. It is therefore extremely important to be proactive in battling them. A very effective way of attacking them is using a termite  treatment called trenching.

Trenching is applying a liquid termiticide around the home where subterranean termites pass through as they try to make their way into your home or business property.  Once termites come in contact with the chemical, it is passed throughout the colony and eventually kills them off.

Controlling Crawl Space Termites

If your property contains a crawl space, it is essential to take steps to prevent termite infestations. One effective method is implementing a vapor barrier. This involves shielding your crawl space walls and floor with a sturdy material to create a barrier against moisture and dampness that termites are attracted to. By creating a hostile environment, you can deter termites and protect your property from damage.
