Pests We Treat Photo Album: Termites Found in the Basement Door Sill Plate in Interlaken, NJ

Termite Activity

The front sill plate and the wood base on the back basement door and stairs had termite activity.

Foaming Termiticide

So we injected a foaming termiticide into these others and then treated the exterior perimeter of the home with a liquid version of the termiticide. These applications bind to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect. 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.

Now Comes Sentricon®

Once we were done, we installed several Sentricon® stations around the entire exterior of the home. When the termites come in contact with the Sentricon® bait system, they eat the cellulose material, unknowingly consuming an insect growth inhibitor.

The Food Isn't Food

The termites then go on to share this "food" with their colony members. As the termites continuously share the growth inhibitor, it takes over and prevents the termites from being able to molt. If they cannot molt, then the colony is eliminated. Now the home is fully protected from termites for many years.
