Just because your home has been inspected and treated for termites, doesn’t mean your safe and home free.
It may be time for a termite treatment / inspection.
Termites may not have been present for sometime. However, colonies of termites work day and night looking for wood for or cellulose for food — And your property looks like it may be the main course in their next meal. Times have changed. Ages ago, exterminators used chlordane, to kill termites on contact. Chlordane production, however, was banned in the late 1980s as a suspected contaminant that threatened ground water systems. Chemicals today used to treatment termite infestations are not as successful.These form of treatments only work as long as the home being treated is completely surrounded with the chemical barrier. Any bit of opening in the barrier invites the wood destroying organisms through to feast on your home. Termites are tiny. They don’t need much to break through.Today, pest control companies extensively use Termidor, Premise and a newer product Altriset to kill and not simply repel termites.All three termiticides are guaranteed to kill the termites and to destroy the termite colonies. This protection should protect the property for years to come.These mentioned chemicals are only offered and used by a licensed pest control technician.
It may take over a decade for all three products to eventually break down in the soils. This is why pest control companies always recommend an annual contract inspection to ensure that your home is protected from any signs of a possible termite infestation.
