Pests We Treat Photo Album: Termites Make Their Way Throughout the Garage in Princeton Junction, NJ
We were sent out to a home in Princeton Junction, NJ to handle a termite infestation.
Mud Tubes from the Termites
Aside from evident termite damage throughout the garage we found a ton of mud tubes. Mud tubes are pencil-width size tubes made by the worker termites. They use these tunnels to travel to and from their nest when foraging for food. These protective tubes allow the termites to stay moist underground.
Certain Amount of Space
Since the termites live beneath ground level, to effectively target them, we drilled into the floor of the garage as well as around the entire exterior of the home in order to reach them with our treatment. When drilling we made sure to keep the drill holes at least 18 inches apart from one another. That way there is enough room for the treatment to spread out.
Termiticide
Once we finished drilling, we injected a liquid temiticide into all the drill holes. This treatment binds to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect.
Have No Idea
As the termites go about their business they'll come in contact with the termiticide and bring it back to their colony. They will then transfer the treatment throughout their nest, not knowing they are sharing an application that'll exterminate their entire colony in short amount of time. The best part of this application is that it will last for many years and protect the home from termites.
