Photo Album: Termites Begin Snacking on Homeowners Garage in Skillman, NJ
Recently, I treated a home in Skillman, NJ for termites.
All in the Garage
The problem area was in the garage, where we discovered a large number of termite shelter tubing coming up from the expansion joints.
Termite Mud Tubes
When subterranean termites surface above the ground, they build mud tubes to stay in a moist environment, survive above ground, and travel between their colony and a food source.
Using a Termiticide
First, we drilled into the garage floor and injected a liquid termiticide. This application binds to the treated soil and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect.
Protected
The termites share this treatment throughout their colony and in a short amount of time, they are exterminated and the home will be protected from termites for many years to come.
