Florida's Best Pest Control and Termite Services

Termiticide, or termite spray, is an insecticide used to control termites chemically. In order to poison and kill any termites that come into touch with its barrier, the termiticide may be placed as either a liquid or foam treatment around the home’s perimeter.

Termite bait is less complicated to apply than termiticide sprays, while being very efficient in the fight against termites. Bait stations are made out of a wooden stick coated with poison and housed in plastic. Because termites eat on wood, they unknowingly ingest the poison and transport wood fibers into their nests, where they infect other members of their colony and eventually die.

Pesticide sprays and termite baits are regarded as “indirect” methods of pest control since they are applied externally and depend on termites transporting the poison back to their nests. You should use a chemical treatment if you notice an active infestation in your house. This will quickly and directly eliminate the issue.

Termiticide foam may be used to apply it to areas where you fear termites are lurking. Fipronil is employed in foam treatments, albeit at a much lower dosage than in chemical barrier applications. As an alternative to fipronil, boric acid may also be used to control termite populations.

Termite infestations that are both severe and difficult to control may need the use of a tent. An exterior tent is used to seal the house before a fumigant is injected into the hard-to-reach areas and kills the termites there. The complete procedure takes 1–3 days and may only be carried out by a certified specialist, due to the hazards of the chemicals employed. Despite its effectiveness, tenting is an expensive and time-consuming treatment method that requires patients to leave their homes for a few days. There’s also the fact that fumigation isn’t an effective means of preventing new infections.
