Pests We Treat Photo Album: A Ton of Termites Found in the Crawl Space in Barnegat Light, NJ
Termite Mud Tubes Everywhere
As you can see, we found live termite mud tubes throughout this entire crawl space.
Purpose of Termite Mud Tubes
Mud tubes are made by the worker termites and protect them, and the other termites, from the exterior elements when traveling from their colony to a food source.
Very Eerie
Almost looks like something out of a horror movie!
Begin Treating for These Termites
To effectively target the subterranean termites, with the owners' permission, we drilled into the concrete floor of the crawl space, as well as around the entire exterior of the home.
Injecting the Termite Application
Once we were done, we injected a liquid termiticide into each one of the drill holes throughout the crawl space and around the entire exterior of the home. Lastly, we filled and plugged up all the drill holes.
Termiticide Works Like This
This application binds to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect.
As the Termites Come in Contact
As the termites go about their business and come in contact with the termiticide, they'll bring it back to their colony. As they transfer this treatment throughout their nest it'll spread like a virus and in short amount of time, the termites will be exterminated!
