Essential Tips on Termite Home Control
Termites are destructive insects that will remain active all throughout the year. The best time to deal with your termite problem is today to prevent further damages. There are different DIY control methods that you can take to protect your property against the threat of the termites. To guarantee the success of your termite control, we provided some important tips that you should use.
Tips That You Must Know on Termite Control
The termite home control can be quite confusing and overwhelming especially for homeowners who lack the experience. By learning the basic and essential things about termite control, you will be able to eliminate the source of the problem immediately.
Inspecting the Foundation
It is essential to have a regular inspection of your home especially on its foundation. While the termites will not eat concrete materials, you will also notice mud tubes around the foundation. This is a sign that your house is suffering from infestation. Once you see the presence of the mud tubes, you will have to inspect the wood materials in your home closely.
Use Flashlight
When inspecting the different areas of your house, it would be best if you are armed with flashlight especially if you are inspecting the basement and crawl areas of your house. You need to pay closer attention to the corners and edges of the room. This is the possible location of mud tubes. If you suspect that the surface is receiving damage, you should use the ‘thumb technique'. Apply pressure on the surface by pressing it using your thumb.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
The seal of your house and proper ventilation plays a key role in controlling the moisture inside the room. Without appropriate ventilation, the condensation will gradually build up. This will then seep into the wood material that will be a perfect thriving ground for the termites. The seals in your house will act as shield to prevent the buildup of moisture on your walls. With this, the termites will not be attracted on your property.
Baiting
Baiting is a method that people usually employ when trapping wildlife creatures. However, this can also be used on pest control method such as on termite infestation. There are bait stations that you can avail on the market. This can draw the termites away from your property and will be effective in destroying their nest before your even experience severe damage from their infestation.
Heating
The termites need moisture to survive. Therefore, exposing them to certain level of heat can kill them. If you can heat your property to at least 120-degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, you will be able to decimate the termite in your house. Avoid using this method when close to the plastic materials and wirings. This method will also not be effective on wooden beams.
When you are just in the process of constructing your house, we recommend the use of treated woods. The termites will not usually appreciate the taste of wood mixed with chemicals.
