Pests We Treat Photo Album: Crawl Space Under Condo Loaded with Termites in Beachwood, NJ

So Many Mud Tubes

As we entered the crawl space, we immediately spotted a ton 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. These protective tubes allow the termites to stay moist underground.

Found Subterranean Termites

We checked on the mud tubes to see if they were active and, sure enough, we found a bunch of subterranean termites in several of the mud tubes!

Drill and Inject the Treatment

To effectively target the subterranean termites, with the property manager's permission, we drilled into the concrete floor and walls of the crawl space and injected a liquid termiticide into each one of the drill holes.

This is How it Works

We also injected the temiticide along the entire exterior of the building. This treatment binds to the treated areas and creates a protective zone that the termites can't detect. As the termites go about their business, they'll come in contact with the termiticide and bring it back to their colony and then transfer the treatment throughout their nest. In short amount of time, the termites will be exterminated and the property will be protected from these wood-destroying insects for many years to come.
