Termite Treatment: HomeCare Termite Control

First, here’s some good news. Of the forty-five termite species in the United States, many of them aren’t common in New England. However, the most destructive species in the country—the Eastern subterranean termite—is New England’s most common species. One single colony of Eastern subterranean pests can cause thousands of dollars in damage—and home insurance policies don’t typically include coverage for the havoc wreaked by termites.

Eastern subterranean termites target the softer wood in homes, which, unfortunately, is what’s generally used in house construction. Their gnawing creates a honeycomb effect on the wood that isn’t necessarily very apparent from the outside; in fact, it may have the appearance of waterlogged wood. Inside, though, damage can be significant.

Eastern subterranean termites aren’t very picky, overall. Although they prefer damp places like basements or wall cavities near leaks, they’ll also chew on furniture, carpeting, floors, the wood in window frames, books, and so forth. They can also target foundations so, if you spot small cylindrical tunnels near your home’s foundation, that’s a red flag. Contact us for your free termite inspection (or call us at 1-800-323-7378) and the effective termite treatment: Trelona® ATBS annual bait stations provided by BASF.

The main (and quite destructive) termite species found in New England states is the Eastern subterranean. They target and gnaw through softer woods commonly used for construction purposes and are one of the worst pests when it comes to causing damage to homes’ structures. They relentlessly chew around the clock, sometimes causing tens of thousands of dollars of damage to one single home—about $5 billion in damage in the United States annually.

If you have reason to suspect that termites are causing problems in your home, reach out to us for your termite inspection. Our termite treatments—Trelona® ATBS annual bait stations provided by BASF—are highly effective and environmentally responsible, quickly and efficiently getting rid of termite colonies. Our choice of termite control is supported by independent university research and published scientific studies, using a cellulose matrix that attracts termites; they even prefer it over wood, and its inclusion of Novaluron stops termites from molting, leading to their colony’s elimination. Quik-Lock caps keep it secure from curious kids and pets, and this termite treatment only requires an annual inspection.

Termite colonies, during certain seasons or conditions, produce winged adults called “swarmers” that can reproduce. When you see swarming activities taking place, this kind of termite is looking for a new place to form another colony—in other words, to expand their presence. They’ve come from a nearby nest, one that could have come from your own home (almost certainly true if you see the swarm inside your house) or they could be coming from another location close by. If you see a swarm, request a free termite inspection online or by calling 1-800-323-7378. Our service professionals will determine if your home is being targeted by termites and, if so, our termite exterminators will safely and effectively use termite control methods that are environmentally sound.

Signs include swarms, described above, especially in early spring or after rain falls. Other signs include mud tubes around or on your home’s foundation with dirt accumulating around it; dead termites; and cast off swarmers’ wings. When looking at wood in your home, you might already see damage, including holes or warped looking doors or floors. Baseboards and floors might give off a hollow sound. These are all common signs of termite infestations. To get professional insights, request your termite inspection. We’ll take an expert look at your home and, as needed, recommend a termite control plan using safe, effective, and environmentally sound Trelona® ATBS annual bait stations provided by BASF.
