Discover what to anticipate from a termite prevention program.

When you call a termite control service, one of the first things they’ll do is an extensive inspection both inside and outside your home. Since termites are difficult to identify, they check your home to find signs of damage. These include areas with moisture, like interior plumbing as well as basements, crawlspaces, and basements. Although, not all termites like damp areas. It is possible to have dry-wood termites, which enter through vents, attics, and windows.

After the inspection, the provider can create a custom-designed plan for your home depending on the kinds of termites that are found in your neighborhood. Dry wood termites receive immediate treatment with wood. However, for damp area termites there are options.

First is the direct treatment with liquid. The termite company uses one of the flowmeters to gauge the quantity of termiticide needed before applying the treatment to your foundation, at a depth of up to 4 feet below the level of the ground. After that, they secure the areas that are in danger by applying foam. Then, they put up monitoring stations and bait placed in the ground around your house’s exterior, every 10 to 20 feet.
