Finding termites on your property is something that every homeowner in the Greater Boston Area should be concerned about. Termites are able to eat through most woods to build their nests which can cause significant damage to a home. Fill in the form below to schedule a time for a termite inspection and free estimate.
The most effective way to terminate a termite colony in your home is with Permethrin Dust. Permethrin Dust is a natural insecticide that lasts for long periods of time. This method additionally is a treatment for ants, ticks, wasps, bagworms, ground beetles, and more. An alternative method is the application of Boric Acid. Boric Acid is a natural insecticide that dehydrates the insects. The sufficient way to apply the acid to the colony is by coating or spraying the wood directly. Bug Bombs create a chemical trap on the ground of the infested area. Termites are attracted to the toxic substance and trapped when they come in contact with the substance.
Colonies expand by annually unleashing winged reproductive termites, known as “swarmers”. These termites pair off and fly as far as the wind blows them to a proper shelter to start their new colony. These swarmers drop their wings and begin reproducing worker termites. Naturally, the swarmers become the new king and queens of this colony, where the entire cycle starts over again for another 20 years of infestation. Termite colonies that are in your home can be linked to neighboring colonies that are outside around your home. Colonies outside could be chewing through any wood that is surrounding your home, like tree stumps, firewood bundles, and sheds.
