How can I choose the best Termite treatment?
When the house owner experiences contamination of termites, they usually immediately seek the treatment of termites. This is because some types of termites, such as an underground species, can eat up to £ 15 (6.8 kg) of wood a week, causing extensive damage in a very short period of time. When the termite extermination is called, it explores the situation and performs one of the four different treatments. These are as follows: mechanical change, soil treatment, wood treatment and termite bait systems. If you live in a naturally humid or wet environment, you are at a high risk of contamination of termites. The first form of thermit, called mechanical change, requires removal of wood, cardboard and paper that will make contact with the soil, because it is what termites are looking for when they build a nest. In the mechanical change category, it also decreases and modifies any leaks near the home and increase ventilation in the crawl spaces to reduce the moisture content around the house.
Wood treatment is a form of treatment of thermit, which must be performed during the structure of the structure. It is basically a prevention technique that is performed in areas that are susceptible to termites such as warm and humid environments. When the building is designed, instead of standard, untreated wooden beams, pressure wood is used. When the building is constructed exclusively from the pressure of the treated wood from the ground to the top of the first floor, it is an effective form of termite control.
soil treatment is the best method to be used if your property contains no wells, French drains, drain tiles or other drainage systems. This method of thermitic treatment involves digging the ditch and the use of termiticide to create a barrier under and next to the structure. The soil treatment also blocks Involves access to the walls of foundations, chimneys and columns using a vertical barrier. The completed ditch should be at least 6 inches (15.24 cm). Termiticide should be mixed with water in a ratio of 4 gallons (15.14 liters(30.48 cm) of depth for 10 feet (3.05 meters) and poured into a ditch.
bait systems should be used if neither wood nor foundation nor foundations are possible, for example if you have a well or have experienced negative reactions to liquid thermicides. When using the bait system, you must first get the attention of the termites by placing untreated wood in the monitoring device, which you then place in the ground around the house. When you see the termites who feed on this wood, you can switch untreated wood with annoying material known as a termiticide bait. Termites take the bait back to the nest, where over time they poison the whole colony. You can also connect the annoying material directly to the structure where you will notice the feeding of the termites.
