Photo Album: Garage Infiltrated by Termites in Brick, NJ
Live Termite Activity
During my inspection, I found activity in the garage and a slab room.
Mud Tubes
When subterranean termites surface above the ground, they build mud tubes to stay in a moist environment, survive above ground, and to travel between their colony and a food source.
How to Treat for Termites
For an effective treatment, I drilled into the slab in order to inject our termiticide so that the termites will come into contact with the product.
How the Termiticide Works
The termiticide binds to the treated area and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect. Once they come in contact with the application, they'll transfer it among their nest. The application then spreads like a virus throughout the colony and in a short amount of time, the termites are exterminated and the home will be termite-free and protected for many years to come.
