Subterranean Termites
Subterranean Termites are the most destructive insect in the world. In the United States they do billions of dollars in damage. In nature Termites serve as housekeepers of the desert, consuming and breaking down dead decaying wood. In the urban environment, these termites feed on the wood in the home including lumber, drywall paper, cardboard, furniture, or any cellulose material. Structures are an ideal food source for these insects. In addition, many home irrigation systems serve as a much needed moisture source for termites.

Termite Foraging Tube

Typical evidence of termite activity is identified by the mud shelter tubes that termites build. These tubes are used as roadways into the structure for termites to forage on the wood and return to the soil where they live. Shelter tubes typically can be found on the exterior stem wall, interior drywall, or drop down from the ceiling. Upon discovery of termite activity a termite treatment will need to be done in order to protect the home.

Treatment Methods

Treatment of termites will depend upon the construction of the home and personal preferences of the homeowner. There are two treatment options; a conventional liquid treatment or a termite baiting system.

Liquid Chemical Treatment	Termite Baiting System
Liquid termiticides are chemical barriers applied around the property intended to repel or kill termites that come in contact with the barrier. Learn more by clicking here or watch the video below.	The Sentricon Baiting System is designed to eliminate all the termites attacking the structure. With no termites, barriers become unnecessary. Learn more by clicking here or watch the video below.
