Photo Album: Termites Take Over the Bathroom in South Amboy, NJ

We were sent out on a service call to a customer in South Amboy, NJ to treat for termites.

Mud Tubing in th Baseboard

The termite infestation was located in the first floor bathroom. During our inspection we found termite mud tubing in the baseboard. Mud tubes are made by the worker termites and protect them, and the other termites, from the exterior elements when traveling from their colony to a food source. These protective tubes allow the termites to stay moist underground.

Drill on the Inside & Outside

With the owners permission, since these wood-destroying insects live beneath ground level, we drilled into the floor of the bathroom and around the entire exterior of the home.

Now for the Liquid Termiticide

Once we were done, we injected a liquid termiticide into each one of the drill holes. This treatment binds to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect.

Pass it Around

As the termites go about their business, they'll come in contact with the termiticide and bring it back to their colony and then transfer the treatment throughout their nest. In short amount of time, the termites will be exterminated and the property will be protected from these wood-destroying insects for many years to come.
