Some Subterranean termite treatments you need to know
1. Liquid termite barrier treatment
The first way to deal with Subterranean termite is by using Liquid termite barrier treatment. This technique work by killing termites before they enter the structure. These techniques use a repellent chemical that makes termite avoid or stay away from it. If in case the termite is already inside the structure, the chemical will be trapped inside. They cannot make a new colony and in the end, die because of the lack of moisture.
While using this technique you can also use non-repellent chemicals. While the repellent chemical will repel and didn’t give access for a termite to your structure, the non-repellent will kill the termites. The non-repellent chemical was designed to be transparent and undetectable by the termites.
The newer distributed non-repellent chemical is now safer for the environment. when past through it, the termites won’t sense the chemical. Later on, the contaminated termites will die because of the effect of the chemical. It can paralyze the termite’s muscle, the lack of movement and inability to eat will slowly kill it.
This way to deal with Subterranean termite treatments is primarily done in the pre-construction process or when you are building structure. You can apply liquid termite insecticides outside foundations, pier or beam. Inside the patios, floating slabs, porches or concrete expansions. Or you can apply with foaming inside wall plumbing penetration and plumbing voids.
2. Termite Baiting
This technique is now widely available. Many pest control companies use this technique for their termite treatment. It is known that instead of injecting chemicals to the ground that can be a harmful environment, this technique allows you to use bait with poison inside and put it directly in the ground.
This technique works by killing the worker termites, so the other termite won’t be able to get food and start a declining phase. The technique performed with the first step, pre-baiting. In this step, termite detector stations containing wood is placed inside the ground. The termite scout will start marking their ways and tell the worker to get food from there. After the starting harvesting food from there, the wood will be replaced with toxins.
The second step in this way to deal with Subterranean termite is replacing the wood with toxicant or growth hormones. The feeding length depends on the termite population. After this step, the termite colony control step started. In this step mostly the worker termites have died. When it happens there will no food source from outside the nest, and the internal food source will start depleting. Thus, when the food has gone the population will start decreasing.
