Subterranean Termites As their name implies, subterranean termites live in the soil. In the past, they have been difficult to control because their nests are deep underground and their colonies can contain up to one million members. When they find a reliable food source, they'll return to it again and again. Pestofix.com Pest Control takes many factors into consideration when designing a defense plan for your business. Construction style, design, foundation material and exterior finish all determine the best choice of treatment for termites. After a Pestofix.com Pest Control professional thoroughly inspects your business, he or she will recommend the treatment option that best suits your needs. An advanced technique used to help protect businesses from subterranean termites is the creation of a treatment zone at key entry points around and through your foundation. As termites tunnel through treatment zones in search of food, they are exposed to a termiticide. The termiticide is not only ingested, but also adheres to their bodies. Affected termites then spread the material to other termites through physical contact, reducing the population of the colony. When a Pestofix.com Pest Control professional inspects your business, he will create a foundation graph to show where any visible subterranean termite activity or damage is located, and to illustrate where treatment specifications are to be applied. Different construction types dictate different treatment options and methods. Our Pestofix.com Pest Control professionals are thoroughly trained to ensure that your businesses’ treatment is customized to construction type, any conducive conditions that exist and termite activity in and around your business with the goal of complete control.
