Termite Treatment & Extermination in Kendall Park, NJ
Challenge
A new customer in Kendall Park, NJ, called our office after her husband noticed some termite activity in their garage. Once we arrived and conducted a thorough inspection, we found active termite mud tubes throughout the garage. 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.
Termites are stealth creatures often referred to as "silent destroyers" because they are able to chew through wood, flooring, and even wallpaper before a homeowner is aware they have a termite infestation. On average, termites cost homeowners over $5 billion dollars in property damage each year!
Solution
For treatment, we drilled into the concrete in the garage, since termites live beneath the soil, as well as around the entire exterior perimeter of the home. Next, we injected a liquid termiticide throughout the garage and around the entire perimeter of the home. The termiticide binds to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect. 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.
Once we finished, we plugged and filled in each one of the drill holes. In a short amount of time, the termites will be exterminated and the home will be protected from termites for many years to come.
