This type of
treatment is for Subterranean Termites only.
Subterranean
Termites, the most common kind, live in colonies in the soil, from just below
the surface to as much as 12 feet down. Each colony is built around a
king and a queen, whose sole job is reproduction.
Worker
termites "commute" between the colony and sources of food, including
wood fibers and other forms of cellulose which they eat, digest and share with
other members of their colony. If they don't immediately find the wood
they want, these determined little engineers construct airtight,
moisture-tight tubes leading from their colony in the soil to the wood.
These tubes can go up walls, along pipes, around so-called "termite
shields," and even stand free of any support. And the busy workers
commute between their cellulose food and their colony. They collect
moisture for themselves, and deliver nutrition to the members of the colony.
In this
constant commuting lies their weakness. Prevent it, and you very quickly
prevent further damage to your home. The only proven way of doing this
is by placement of a chemical barrier, through which the worker termites
cannot pass and survive.
By treating
the soil around and beneath your home with a material effective against
termites, you prevent this movement. The termites that are in your home
return to the soil, and soon die. Those on the other side of the barrier
cannot reach your home, so they seek other sources of food.
Key Benefits
of Soil Treatment
1. Safe--the
material is injected into the soil where it crystallizes and stays.
2. Many
times more effective than alternative treatments
3. Barrier
can protect your home for years (under ideal conditions)
4. Guaranteed
