The methods for controlling Subterranean Termites vary according to whether there is an active infestation, their location and what area of the structure is being treated. Backyard Comfort & Pest Control offers all these termite control treatments.
-
Physical Barrier Pre-treat – A barrier is installed around the plumbing gaps that will not allow termite access into the structure before the concrete is poured.
-
Soil Pre-treat – A liquid is sprayed on the ground before the plastic, rebar and concrete area poured.
-
Wood Pre-treat – A borate liquid is sprayed on all the framing up to 2’ in height while the walls are still open on the structure.
-
Soil Trenching Post-treat – A trench is dug around the structure; liquid is sprayed into the trench and on the soil as the trench is filled back in.
-
Soil Rodding Post-treat – A rod is used to force liquid into the soil around a structure.
-
Sub-Slab Post-treat – Holes are drilled into the concrete slab of a structure and insecticide is sprayed through the hole into the ground beneath the slab.
