How To Prevent Termites

There are a few different ways to prevent and control termites from spreading in the home. Termite baits are a popular method for termite control and have proven to be highly effective when done right. These baits use a small number of edible materials and are deployed in a room to eliminate the termite population foraging in your home or building. The goal of these baits is for the termites to consume the bait and share it with their fellow termites. This results in a decline in their total numbers. Some baiting systems can be used to eradicate entire colonies. Our staff employs a comprehensive baiting system that aims to keep termites away from the premises throughout the season.
