How to Protect Your Home from Termite Attack
With swarming season about to begin, northern New Jersey home and business owners should be alert for signs of termite infestation. As noted in our previous post, swarming termites are a certain indication of an entrenched termite infestation in the immediate area. Termites swarm to expand their colonies but these inexpert fliers don’t always fly far. Quite often, they establish new colonies on the same property and attack your home or business from new angles, doubling the risk of damage and destruction caused by these voracious wood eaters.
Heritage Pest Control offers two proven ways to kill termites and prevent future attacks:
- The Exterra Termite Baiting System uses poisonous bait to lure termites who eat the bait, then spread the poison to the rest of the colony during feeding and grooming. Eventually the entire colony, including the queen, dies. After the colony is eliminated, Heritage Pest Control’s yearly maintenance plan keeps termites from returning.
- Termidor Liquid Application is the most effective termiticide on the market with an unprecedented successful termite kill rate. Termidor is applied to the soil to create an external barrier around a building. Termites are unable to detect the poison as they cross the barrier between their ground nest and food source, the wood in your home. Poison clings to termite bodies and is transferred to colony inhabitants during feeding and grooming, ultimately killing the entire colony. Heritage’s yearly termite warranty provides annual inspections to insure that termites don’t return.
