Depending on the design of the structure and the size of the infestations and duration of it, the inspector will inspect and tailor a treatment method. We would Destroy all visible whole termite tubes so that any new reinfestations can be readily detected. Probe the exterior foundation with either Premise or Termidor. Chemically treat the subarea soil with Premise or Termidor in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. If a structure does not have a subarea we would drill the base of the walls on the ground floor and inject Premise or Termidor by adding a foaming agent, Flexafoam or ProFoam Platinum which expands inside of the wall void carrying the termiticide to the wood members which absorb the product. If holes are drilled into the concrete slab areas they are filled with mortar and holes drilled into the walls are caulked to seal. The holes into the walls are around ¼" in diameter and the holes drilled into the concrete are around 1/2" in diameter. We have found that this treatment method is the most effective way to eradicate these type of termites.

We also can install in-ground monitors which are made by Exterra. Monitoring material is placed into the stations which are monitored on a quarterly basis. If activity is detected the monitoring material is replaced with Labyrinth/AC. The cessation of the monitors showing activity is placed into a computer to document the termite activity with the ending result being colony elimination. Above ground monitors can be placed directly at the site of activity and these stations are monitored on a more frequent schedule that the in ground monitors. They are placed directly at the site of activity, i.e. where the subterranean termite feeding tubes are found at the structure. The in ground monitors are for early detection of a infestation of subterranean termites.
