Termite Treatment Options

Seeing and confirming signs of termites in your home can be one of your worst nightmares as a homeowner. After inspecting your property and finding evidence of active termite activity, the next step is determining the best course of action to get rid of the infestation. 

Termite baiting and Termidor are termite treatment options trusted industry-wide to stop termite infestations. 

After thoroughly inspecting your home, the termite exterminators at Hometown Pest Control will make use of some of the industry’s most reliable, highly effective termite treatments to get rid of infestations.

What is Termite Baiting?

Termite baiting is the practice of laying out insecticide-loaded traps or bait stations for termites to come in contact with and spread to the rest of their colony. Termite baiting is widely considered one of the most reliable treatment options for termite control and prevention. Termite baiting works in the following ways as a leading termite control option:

1. Bait stations are installed in the ground around your home. It begins working immediately to destroy any active colonies.
2. The active ingredient in bait works to prevent termites from maturing. The active ingredient causes termites to be unable to molt, which leads to their death.
3. Ongoing monitoring by a Hometown Pest Control team member will ensure the Termite baiting system continues to work effectively.

What is Termidor?

Termidor is a top-notch termite control and prevention solution sprayed around the exterior of your home. Since termites don’t always come in contact with bait stations, we offer this as another option. Termite baiting works well, but in certain situations, we also recommend a chemical barrier solution to go with it. 

Termidor is a liquid barrier treatment that is sprayed around the exterior of the home. Termidor termite treatment utilizes the transfer effect, which includes:

1. Whenever a termite ingests or touches Termidor, it becomes a carrier, transferring Termidor to other termites it contacts.
2. These termites will then become secondary carriers, behaving normally while they transfer Termidor to other termites they contact, spreading it like a virus throughout the colony.
3. This unique, spiraling process is called the “transfer effect,” and it helps deliver devastating results to termites in order to maximize the protection of your home.
4. Termites will come in contact with the solution and transfer it to other termites eliminating the entire colony.
