Photo Album: Termite Mud Tubes Found in the Basement & the Garage in Basking Ridge, NJ

Recently, we treated a home in Basking Ridge, NJ for termites.

Mud Tubes

We found active termite mud tubes in the basement, along the exterior of the home...

Here as Well

...and in the garage too! 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.

First We Started Drilling

For an effective treatment, since termites live beneath ground level, we drilled into the floors of the basement, garage, and around the exterior of the home.

Now for the Termiticide

Next, we injected a liquid termiticide into floor of the basement, the garage, and around the entire perimeter of the home. The application binds to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect.

Transfer the Termiticide

The termites will unknowingly come in contact with this treatment as they go about their normal routines, bring it back to their nest, and transfer it among their colony.

Fill in the Drill Holes

Once we finished, we plugged and filled in each drill hole. In a short amount of time, the termites will be exterminated and the home will be protected from termites for many years to come.
