 No Business Is Safe From Termites
Termites are extremely well organized and can find a way inside any
structure. That's why Terminix offers advanced treatment methods for
termite control and can even help protect condominiums and multi-family
units. Regardless of how your building is constructed or the type of
foundation it has, termites can find a way in, concealing themselves by
building special "shelter tubes." Because they work from the inside out,
it's likely that you won't see signs of infestation until the damage is
done. Subterranean Solutions
As their name implies, Subterranean Termites live in the soil. Terminix takes many factors into consideration when designing a plan for
your business against these termites. Construction style, design,
foundation material and exterior finish all determine the best choice of
treatment. Terminix offers two advanced technologies against
Subterranean Termites. Terminix Termite Baiting Program
Baiting stations are strategically installed around your property.
But unlike traditional baiting systems, the termites do not know they
are eating a poison. To help protect businesses from Subterranean Termites, a treatment
zone is created at key entry points around and through your foundation.
As termites tunnel through treatment zones, they are exposed to a termiticide which is spread to other termites through physical contact,
reducing the population of the colony. Coring
In most cases, the Terminix Termite Baiting Program can be
installed directly into the soil. Buildings that are surrounded by
concrete or asphalt require a special method. Using a coring
technique, we drill through the concrete or asphalt to reach the soil
below. Then, we install the baiting tubes and conceal them with metal
covers. The covers are locked into place to protect against weather and
tampering. The entire procedure can be performed quickly and cleanly
without disrupting your business or damaging your structure.
Drywood Termites
Unlike Subterranean Termites, Drywood Termites do not need to
maintain contact with the ground for moisture. As a result, they require
a completely different treatment. Tent fumigation is the most effective
option to combat an infestation. This method involves a thoroughly
tested, carefully controlled means of dispersing specialized fumigant
throughout an infested structure. The fumigant penetrates all structural
wood timbers, trim, finished wood and furniture, and hard-to-treat walls
and studs.
