Some insects and other bugs can be managed with home treatments such as Borax solutions and orange oil. When it comes to Termite Removal, however, property owners shouldn’t take chances. A professional pest control service can track down the critters and eliminate them before they do extensive damage. Termites are cunning little creatures, eating structures from the inside and staying hidden until they have consumed a startling amount of wood.
When a homeowner suspects he has seen a termite or any evidence of an infestation, a prompt appointment with an extermination service can prevent future headaches. He may occasionally see a bug that looks like an ant with wings, for instance. A view of online photos comparing ants with termites should help clarify which type of insect he actually is viewing. An established termite colony can contain hundreds, thousands and even millions of bugs. No property owner wants the initial situation to escalate, but that can happen with ineffective treatment measures. A pest control service such as Triple AAA American Exterminators uses strategies that are proven to work.
Termites don’t spread disease and they don’t decimate tree populations. They like to eat dead wood, dead leaves and animal droppings. This makes them valuable in a forest, but highly problematic in a building constructed from wood. Once they’re inside, they eat other non-living things such as paper, cardboard and carpeting. If termites take up residence in part of a building that nobody pays attention to, they can cause catastrophic damage before they are discovered.
A Termite Removal service uses insecticide to kill the insects in the structure in a targeted manner. Spreading pesticide indiscriminately is ineffective. In addition, identifying which particular type of termite is on the premises is important. Feeder stations set up for the termites kill the bugs without risking toxic exposure to children or pets. The pest control experts investigate the building to determine where the termites probably came in originally. This typically is at the foundation at a place where the building meets the ground. Stacked firewood, compost piles, dead trees and decaying tree stumps near the building should be removed, as they attract termites. Watch videos on Youtube
