Pests We Treat Photo Album: Termites & Their Mud Tubes Found in the Basement in Neshanic Station, NJ

In Between the Beams

As we inspected the basement we found several active termite mud tubes between in each of the wooden beams in the basement.

What Are Termite Mud Tubes

Mud tubes are pencil-width size tubes made by the worker termites. Termites utilize these tunnels to travel to and from their nest when foraging for food. These protective tubes allow the termites to stay moist underground.

Time to Treat

With the owner's permission, we drilled into the wooden beams and injected a foaming termiticide. After that, we then drilled into the flooring of the basement, as well as around the home, and injected a liquid version of the termiticide.

Spreads Fast Throughout the Colony

Both of these applications create a protective zone that is undetectable to the termites. The termites 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 all of the termites will be neutralized and the home will be protected from termites for many years.
