Anti-termite treatment requires the drilling of holes at intervals along the perimeter of the home, in order to inject termiticide to control the termite colony. It forms a protection barrier between the soil and the home structure. Once exposed and ingested by the termiticide, the affected termites will spread to the other termites and eventually reducing or eliminating the colony. Some termiticide actually halts the muscles of the termites, thus preventing the termites from damaging your property further.

What is the most effective treatment for termites?

There are short term and long term treatments available, depending on your needs, budget, infestation level and type of infestation. Treatments include “spot treatments” to deliver localized treatment on the affected area.

Users may find themselves engaging repeated spot treatments whenever another termite activity surface. There is a long term program that may not react or remove instantly and require more investment, however, it controls in a more targeted, holistic and effective manner with long term assurance of at least 7 years.

    This article is a lifesaver for learning about treatment options for termites. I didn’t realize there was more that one type of termite and that there was more than one way to deal with them. Going forward I’ll have to be more aware of what my local exterminators have to offer.
