How Our Termite Treatments Work

We employ two tried-and-true termite control methods. Below are details about how they work and when they’re the most effective option. 

Liquid Treatments

We use the Termidor® liquid termite treatment because it is proven to safeguard properties from costly termite damage. 

Here’s how it works:

1. Inspection and planning – Our Termidor®-certified technicians inspect your property to identify termite activity and determine where treatment is necessary.
2. Soil application – We apply Termidor® to the soil around and beneath your foundation, creating a protective barrier between the ground and your building.
3. Undetectable to termites – The advantage of Termidor® is that termites cannot see, smell, or avoid it. So, they pass through the treated soil without knowing it.
4. Transfer effect – Termites that contact the Termidor® liquid treatment carry it back to the colony and spread it to other termites through normal social behaviors.
5. Colony elimination – Over time, the treatment reduces and eliminates the termite colony at its source.
6. Long-lasting protection – Once applied, Termidor ® delivers ongoing protection against future termite activity.

Generally, liquid treatments are the ideal choice for targeting an active infestation. 

Bait Stations

Bait stations deliver termite protection with fewer chemicals, making them an especially popular choice. 

Here’s how they work:

1. Inspection and planning – As with our liquid treatments, we perform a thorough inspection to identify where termite activity is most prominent and how to address the issue.
2. Bait stations – We place bait stations around the perimeter of your building, positioning them in the soil where termites are most likely to travel.
3. Termite bait station discovery – While searching for food, termites find the stations and begin feeding on the bait.
4. Bait consumption and sharing – The bait contains a slow-acting ingredient that doesn’t immediately kill termites. Instead, it allows them to feed on and share it with others in the colony.
5. Colony suppression and extermination – The bait disrupts the termites’ ability to grow and reproduce, eventually wiping out the entire colony.
6. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance – We regularly inspect and replenish stations to maintain protection and adjust treatments to prevent new termite threats.

Bait stations are optimal when soil treatments are impractical, or when property owners want long-term protection but aren’t dealing with immediate termite pressures.

What to Know About Subterranean Termites

All up and down the East Coast and throughout the Southeast, we have subterranean termites, which are difficult to identify and treat because they live underground. Think of an iceberg: you can only see the tip of the iceberg above the water, while the massive bulk lies underwater. The same concept applies to subterranean termites. You can only see a small percentage of the colony through termite tubes or in termite damage around your home. The rest are traveling back and forth from the wood source to the underground colony.

What Are Signs of Subterranean Termites?

If you notice the following, subterranean termites may have invaded your property:

• Mud tubes on your foundation or walls
• Wood that sounds hollow or shows signs of interior damage
• Small piles of discarded wings near windows or doors
• Doors or windows that suddenly stick due to moisture and wood damage

To be sure whether what you’re seeing is the result of termites, contact Landlock Pest Control for a free termite inspection.
