The Most Effective Termite Control Methods

Termites are one of the most damage-causing pests that can ruin the value of your property. It is because of the reason that damage caused by them is irreparable in most of the cases. The main food of the termites is the wooden material in your property and besides that, they also feed on the cellulose containing materials (which can be the papers or a construction material). Once they enter your home, the number will keep on increasing as they would build their home in such materials. 

However, the good thing is that termite infestation can be controlled by using the effective techniques, provided that you have inspected it soon. In the case they have already done a lot of damage to your property, no doubt you would be able to control them but you would also need to replace the material. Though it can be repaired to some extent, the highly damaged material will become termites' target easily.

Professionals use a number of methods for termite control Brisbane, depending on the extent of termite infestation; here we are going to mention the most effective ones.

• Bait Systems
  Baiting is one of the most common methods of termite control. A number of bait systems are installed on the walls, around the perimeter of the entire building and then are monitored on a specific frequency to ensure that the home is protected. The bait stations can also be installed in the soil, around the building.
  Further, you can also use the liquid termite application with the baits.
• Soil Treatment
  The soil treatment acts as a barrier for the subterranean termites. This type of treatment is used on the surrounding soil. A trench is dug and the soil is treated with a termiticide. After that, the trench is refilled. This treatment is effective for killing the existing termites (termites are killed when they return to the treated soil) and for preventing the future termite infestation.
• Wood Treatment
  A number of wood treatments are used to prevent, control and treat termite infestation. The most common wood termite treatments include injected sprays and foams, surface sprays and boron treatment. The surface applications are implemented during the construction phase; wood injections and foams are used after construction, and the boron treatment is used for the prevention of the termite infestation.

All these treatments are highly effective for termite control, provided that they are implemented the right way. Being a homeowner you may not be aware of these techniques or of the right way to implement them. So, you are always recommended to seek professionals' help for dealing with the termite problem. Their expertise helps them use the various methods effectively and safely.
