There are about 45 different termite species in the US. Effective extermination can’t begin until the species is known. Along with the specie type, they are categorized into one of three larger groups called subterranean, drywood, and dampwood. Subterranean termites live in the soil, but find food sources above ground. They are in the majority for US home infestations. They create mud tubes are seen close to the structure. Subterranean Termite Control in Queens necessitates the use of insect killing formulas on contact. The compound is applied to the soil and wood they feed on. Drywood termites live and thrive in wood. Though their colonies are smaller, they inflict the worse damage on wood. Drywood termites are taken down by fumigation or termite killing agents. Dampwood termites live in wood with moisture. These termites are only found in parts of wood with moisture damage, so most infested homes don’t have this species.
Termite prevention should be an ongoing project for buildings that have had at least one invasion. Annual inspections detect new colonies before they cause too much damage. Their entry-points should be closed off. Lawn and soil treatment applies localized repellents to the soil in places the insects are most likely to emerge from. Monitoring and bait systems alert home owners to the presence of termites. When the monitoring and bait systems show evidence, an extermination service can be contacted to get rid of the colony before they come in contact with the structure.
