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.
Early Termite Treatment
Trenching goes after the termites you CAN’T see. Often, by the time you start the see termites above ground, the subterranean damage has already started. Utilizing a termite treatment early keeps the problem away from your property.
Although not always possible, finding the colony BEFORE trenching can effectively destroy it faster. Either way, if done correctly, your property will be protected for years by using this highly effective method.

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.
