Pests We Treat Photo Album: Termites Dine on the Garage in Basking Ridge, NJ
The termites were having a smorgasbord in this customers garage.
Evident Termite Damage
Almost the entire garage had termite damage to it. Judging by the extent of the damage, the termites had been present here for quite some time.
Active Termites & Mud Tubes
We even found a number of active termite mud tubes and subterranean termites too! Mud tubes are pencil-width size tubes that are made by the worker termites. Termites utilize these tunnels to travel to and from their nest when foraging for food. These protective tubes also allow the termites to stay moist underground.
Time for the Foaming Termiticide
With the customer's permission, we drilled into the walls and wooden beams throughout the garage and injected a foaming termiticide.
Just to Be Thorough
As a precautionary measure, with the customer's permission, we injected a liquid version of the termiticide around the entire exterior perimeter of the home.
Foaming & Liquid Work Well Together
Both versions of the termiticide create a protective zone that is undetectable to the termites. These wood-destroying pests will come in contact with the termiticide, bring it back to their nest, and then transfer it throughout their colony. The termiticide then spreads rapidly throughout their entire colony! In short amount of time, any and all termites will be exterminated and the home will be protected from termites for many years.
