How do you choose the right control measures and plan?
With ACTION Termite & Pest Control every inspector on our team has over 20 years’ experience controlling termites and protecting homes from termite infestations. Experience in subterranean termites, worker termites, mud tubes, and drywood termites is very important when selecting an Arizona termite exterminator. There are many variables that apply when eliminating an infestation.
What type of construction is the structure? Is the inspector familiar with all the different building types here in the valley (here is a hint, there are a lot!)? Knowing and identifying the construction type of the home is the first step in eliminating a subterranean termite infestation. Next is understanding the many ways a termite colony can enter the structure. The treatment plan will vary from home to home, depending on construction. The last thing you need when trying to protect your home from termites is an inexperienced termite company drilling through a post tension wire in a post tension slab constructed home and now you have a whole other problem to worry about. Don’t let that happen to you and call the Termite Experts, ACTION Termite & Pest Control.
Correctly Identifying Termites
Are those cricket droppings, subterranean termites, mud tubes, or drywood termites pellets? Is that a mud dauber nest or a subterranean termite tube? Swarming ants or swarming termites? Don’t let an inexperienced termite inspector misidentify one of these. Call ACTION Termite & Pest Control for a FREE termite inspection to correctly identify between some commonly misidentified signs pest.
Different Termite Treatment Methods in Phoenix
Selecting the right termite treatment isn’t a problem when hiring ACTION Termite & Pest Control because we’ll provide you with the best option. Curious about the different treatments for eliminating termites? Listed below are a few of the most common.
- Full Drill Treatment – The best option for a floating slab constructed home with a large amount of termite activity. This involves not only treating the exterior of the foundation around the entire perimeter of the home but also drilling through the foundation to treat the interior side of the foundation.
- Perimeter Treatment – The most common termite treatment which involves drilling attached slabs including the garage as well as trenching the soil along the foundation.
- Soil + Problem Area – This is your typical termite treatment on a post tension home where the type of construction doesn’t allow for drilling into any slabs or the garage.
- Bait Station System – Termite bait stations are commonly used on homes with decorative slabs (tile, pavers, painted, etc.) that cannot be drilled or in cases where the soil around the foundation can not be treated.
