How to Prevent Termites from Multiplying
What Are the Different Kinds of Termite Control?
Termites are common insects in various parts of the world, and the damage they inflict can be devastating and expensive to rectify. They can seem almost invisible and are very difficult to detect. However, for ones so small, they have the potential to destroy nearly any building, ranging from small houses to big buildings, should they go unnoticed and untreated. There are various kinds of termite control, which are made to alleviate the issue of termites, and each one requires professional, specialized equipment and chemicals.
One of the most effective techniques for termite control is treating a building whilst it is getting constructed; this prevents any possible future infestations. This is referred to as a pretreatment, and it means using something called termiticidal; these are chemicals which are applied to the soil which a house or building is placed upon. The main benefit of this kind of control is that it is less expensive than treating infestations in an existing building which may be already badly damaged by termites should it be left unnoticed. The soil is sprayed with pesticides whilst the foundation is getting built, more so on corners, which are hard to get to once a house or building has been erected.
When an infestation is detected in an existing building, it is vital to make a decision before deciding upon a method and a pest control company. One method is known as baiting. With this method, infestations are eliminated with baits which attract and subsequently kill these pests. A company that uses baits will need to perform several visits to make sure their traps are doing what they are supposed to, and this can go on from weeks to a year, before termites are completely eradicated.
