When our technician arrives, they will first review the graph
of the property and verify all treatment specifications. After
taking a careful inventory of critical areas such as sunken
areas, bathrooms, plumbing access into the structure, existing
termite activity and other areas we know require special attention,
our technician will begin the treatment process. Each structure
is unique and each treatment is customized to the individual
building, but treatments can include a combination of the
following areas and methodologies.
Trench around the exterior foundation. This protects the
outside foundation of your home from ongoing termite activity.
The majority of subterranean activity in homes starts on the
exterior foundation. A thorough treatment of this key area
on a structure can ensure that termites do not continue their
feeding on your home.
Foaming of interior wall voids. This may include areas, which
are seeing ongoing activity, plumbing accesses, around air
returns and other areas. This prevents the termites from being
able to enter the structure, or stops them from continuing
their activity inside your home. When properly done, foaming
is among the least invasive and most effective tools in a
professionals arsenal.
Drilling abutting patios or sidewalks. There are circumstances
when abutting patios or sidewalks need to be drilled. This
allows our technician to place products in areas where concrete
prevents other treatment strategies.
Trenching around interior crawl space foundation and piers/posts.
In homes with crawl spaces, a trench is dug around the foundation
and pier and/or posts.
Drywood Termites
Because these termites spend their lives inside of the wood
upon which they feed, different techniques are used to control
them.
Depending on the location of the activity and the extent of
their involvement in the structure, our tools for dealing
with Drywood Termites are: Foaming of interior wall voids,
Specially designed Microwave devices, Electronic devices,
and lastly Fumigation.
