Termite and Wood-Destroying Insect Control in Termite Territory
Recent decades show termite and wood destroying insect colonies can migrate to new areas by hitching a ride on materials shipping between states. This ability to move easily adds to the difficulty in remediating termite problems and extends termite territory. They can and do feed on a variety of materials in the home, which is why termite and wood destroying insect control is so important. Their favorite munchies include wood, paper, books, drywall, leather, cellulose insulation, cardboard, and even animal fur. It can be hard keeping properties safe when termites gnaw into homes in so many ways, even chewing through concrete.
Routine Pre-Construction Termite Treatments
Tackling termites is important even before construction begins. With today’s termite-fighting technology, we can offer pre-construction termite treatments, including:
- • Control applications that act as a barrier layer before any slab and backfill.
- • A borate for finished framework, and
- • Advanced bait stations before completing construction.
Entry Points for Termites and What Insurance Covers
The main entry points for termites are construction joints, pipe penetrations, and bath traps. Termites may also crawl up the siding outside a home. This is why it is important to install siding with six or eight inches exposed at the bottom, to inspect and discourage infestation. Many homeowners’ insurance policies do not cover termite damage. This means lenders may require a bond before providing money to homebuyers.
