Termite Management

Termites are among the pests most feared by homeowners. Observing swarms of flying termites does not always mean your home or building is infested. A professional inspection of the structure is usually required to confirm an infestation. If you suspect your home is infested, call a professional. Regular inspections every 3 to 5 years help detect infestations before they become damaging. Do-it-yourself pesticides for use against termites are generally not effective.

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH TERMITES

Termites are known as “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper undetected.

TREATMENT

Most of the proven effective methods in India are for professional use only, so it’s best to hire a professional.
Careful inspection is needed to detect and contain termite damage and colonies in order to make best use of localized treatments, especially for drywood termites.
Nonchemical tactics such as wood replacement, heat, electrocution, and the use of desiccants should be considered before pesticides. These may be especially useful against drywood termites.
Barrier applications of insecticides may be made around structural perimeters by professional applicators through trenching, drilling or rodding. Examples include pyrethroids, as well as insecticides such as fipronil, chlorantraniliprole, and imidacloprid.
