Termites
What are the signs of termites in your home?
Signs of Termites – Small holes in wood, crumbling drywall, sagging doors or floors, insect wings, and small mud tubes are some of the more obvious potential signs of termites in New Jersey. Termite Swarms in the spring are also an obvious sign. However, if you don’t notice any of these signs, that doesn’t necessarily mean termites aren’t there.
How much does it cost to treat for termites?
The cost of a termite treatment is based on the size of infestation, amount of damage, and the size of the treatment areas. Call Action Termite and Pest Control to get a free inspection and estimate.
Drilling for Termites? Gaining access to the perimeter of your home may require an Action Tech to drill through any concrete structures.
Drilling is an important part of the termite extermination process. The proper spacing between holes is very important, too far apart and the chemical application may not be suitable to eliminate termites.
Sweeping the drill holes prior to a chemical application makes for a tidy treatment.
Trenching for termites – If there are any areas next to your home that consists of dirt, Action’s Termite Tech will dig a trench in order to apply a chemical barrier.
Chemical Application – Action Termite and Pest Control uses Termidor for the best possible results. After the trench is dug out, a rod treatment to the exposed ground is completed.
Behind the trees and shrubs – Action’s Termite Technician will get behind trees and shrubs that are next to your home in order to complete the trenching process.
Covering the Trench – Once the proper chemical application has been applied to the trench, covering the area with untreated soil seals the barrier between your home and a termite infestation.
