Drywood termites cause such severe damage that they must be treated as quickly and thoroughly as possible,Here are the methods.
Fumigation:
This treatment involves covering your property with a tent and releasing a predetermined amount of fumigant into the affected areas of the house.
Heat Treatments:
Heat treatments aim to heat up the affected area to a temperature that is deadly to termites. This kills the colony without the need for tenting and fumigation.
Cold Treatment:
Similar to heat treatment, cold treatment aims to kill the termites by controlling the temperature. Liquid nitrogen is administered to the affected area, lowering the temperature to a point not survivable by
the infestation.
Wood Injection:
This method involves injecting insecticide into small halls that are drilled in the affected wood. This gets to the infestation at the source and kills them efficiently.
Micro Electrocution Method:
Electrocution can sometimes be used to treat termites. However, this method is dangerous and can cause property damage if not done correctly.
While there are DIY options for termite treatment, it takes a trained expert to identify the type of infestation you have and choose the appropriate treatment method. We do NOT recommend trying to handle a termite problem on your own.
While you could be initially saving money with store-bought items, you do run the major risk of not eliminating the infestation and spending more money on repairs in the long-run.
