Pests We Treat Photo Album: Termites Found in Atlantic Highlands, NJ
Recently, I treated a garage for a homeowner in Atlantic Highlands, NJ that had significant termite activity. Garages are notorious for being susceptible to termite damage. Most garages are built on slab foundations, which are more prone to termite damage than crawl spaces or basements because the expansion joints, cracks, and wooden structural members are much closer to the ground. Termites have a knack for seeking out wood, and the easier it is for them to reach, the better.
Drilling for the treatment.
To resolve the infestation, I drilled a series of holes through the garage floor so that I could directly access the soil underneath, allowing me to inject a liquid termiticide under the concrete slab. To ensure that my treatment reached these underground-dwelling insects I also drilled the hollow blocks of the foundation and rodded the soil along the exterior perimeter. Finally, I drilled and treated the garage doorjambs.
