Photo Album: Termites Pause Investors Renovations in Dayton, NJ
Mud Tubes
Termite mud tubes are pencil-sized tunnels that protect the termites from the outside elements when traveling from their colony to a food source.
Cowleys Effective Termite Treatment
Before any type of repairs are done, we needed to get rid of the termites. For an effective treatment, I drilled into the concrete and injected a liquid termiticide in the basement as well as along the entire exterior of the home.
The Termiticide
The termiticide binds to the treated area to create a protective zone that is undetectable to the termites. They'll go about their normal routine, come in contact with the treatment, return to their nest, and share it with one another.
Exterminated Termites
Unknown to the termites, they rapidly spread the treatment throughout the entire colony, and a short while later, the termites are exterminated.
Continue with Renovations
Once all the termites are eliminated, the owner can continue with his renovations and have peace of mind knowing that his newly acquired property is protected from termites for many years.
