What Termite Treatment Is

Termite treatment is a process that eliminates termite infestations and protects structures from further damage. It involves identifying the type of termite, whether it is Subterranean, Drywood, or Dampwood and applying our treatment methods. Here are some California approved termite treatment types that are most commonly used and for which types of termites.

Subterranean: 

-Liquid Termiticide Soil Treatment: A trench is dug around the property and the liquid termiticides are put into it.

-Termite Baits: Bait stations are placed and when termites eat the bait, they carry it back to their colony which kills off their colony.

Drywood:

-Heat Treatment: Technicians use special equipment to heat up the wood framing which then kills the termites and their eggs without the use of chemicals.

-Orange Oil Treatment: Technicians drill and inject orange oil into the termite infested wood which then kills the termites on contact.

-Spot Injection Treatments: Special chemical foams and liquids or dusts are injected into areas where the termites are.

-Freezing Treatment: Liquid nitrogen injected into termite infested areas to effectively freeze termites.

-Electro-gun Treatment: The use of a high-voltage electro-gun which sends 90,000 volts of electric shock to the termites killing them.

For Widespread Infestations:

–Fumigation and Tenting: Covering the home and using Vikane gas to kill all termites by letting the poisonous gas go into the whole structure and all the wood.

-Whole-House Heat Treatment: Just like tenting, the structure is enclosed and heated up from the inside out using industrial heaters and fans. The idea is to heat up the house till 120-140F for several hours. Bedbugs will also die this way.

Dampwood:

Termiticides: Technicians will check for leaks because that is how Dampwood termites thrive, and termiticides will be injected into the wood.

Preventative Termite Treatment:

Bora-Care: The application of this product to wood that is exposed will make it indigestible for termites and so they will not want to eat it.

Aside from the above treatment plans and options, at ER Pest and Termite, we do wood replacement and fixes for wood that was damaged by termites. Ready to have us do your termite treatment?

How Termite Treatment Works

The effectiveness of treatment depends on selecting the right methods and applying them correctly. There are many different plans and treatment services that our team uses to give the best results. ER Pest and Termite termite treatments involve applying termiticide to the soil around the structure to create a barrier that termites cannot cross. In some cases, baiting systems are installed, which termites carry back to their colony, resulting in an elimination. For drywood termites, localized treatments may be applied directly to affected wood, or in severe cases, a full fumigation or heat treatment may be recommended. Each method is designed to target termites eliminating them and their colony. Our team has years of experience and understands exactly how termites behave. We will apply treatments that are both effective and long-lasting to make sure your property is fully protected. When termite treatment is done properly, it not only eliminates the current infestation but also reduces the likelihood of any future termite activity. Have you seen signs of termites in your home?

Termite Treatment vs. Termite Control

If you are wondering what the difference is between termite treatment and termite control, it is simple. Every visit we do will start first with a termite inspection. Thereafter, once we determine what type of termites you have, we will move forward in creating a treatment plan. Finally, once we have eradicated all of the termites, we will move to our termite control plan which will involve making sure the termites do not return. Our termite management plan will come next and is a more holistic approach that includes ongoing monitoring and preventative steps to keep termites from returning after termite treatment is finished. Our team will help you to exterminate the termites and get rid of them. Having annual inspections is the best method of termite prevention too. Since if you are able to catch termite infestation in the earlier stages, it becomes easier and avoids further damage which could take a toll on your finances.
