Treatment Options
Drywood Termite Fumigation

Fumigation involves tenting the entire structure and introducing Vikane gas, which penetrates deep into wood to eliminate drywood termites and their eggs. It is highly effective for widespread infestations but requires the home to be vacated for several days.
Local Drywood Treatment

This method targets localized infestations by injecting Termidor foam or similar chemicals directly into termite galleries, killing termites on contact. It is a minimally invasive and cost-effective solution for small, contained infestations.
Subterranean Termite Treatment

Taurus SC is applied to the soil around a structure, creating a chemical barrier that eliminates subterranean termites through contact and colony transfer. This treatment offers long-lasting protection and is ideal for preventing and treating large termite colonies.

Drywood Termite Fumigation

Fumigation is a comprehensive method to eliminate drywood termites. This process involves sealing the entire structure and introducing Vikane gas, a colorless and odorless fumigant, to penetrate wood and eliminate termites.
​
How It Works:
The building is tented, and the gas is introduced, penetrating deep into wooden structures to kill termites and their eggs.
​​​
Advantages:
​
-
Effective for large infestations that affect multiple areas of the home.
-
Reaches termites hidden deep within walls and furniture.


Considerations:
​
-
Requires vacating the property for several days
-
Does not provide residual protection against future infestations

Local Drywood Treatment

For localized drywood termite infestations, Termidor foam and other similar chemicals provide a targeted solution. These treatments focus on treating specific areas without requiring full-structure fumigation.
​Advantages:
​
-
Localized treatment minimizes disruption to your home.
-
Cost-effective for smaller infestations.​
How It Works:
A foam or liquid termiticide is injected directly into the affected wood or termite galleries, killing termites on contact and through ingestion.
Considerations:
​
-
May not be suitable for widespread infestations.
-
Requires careful identification of infestation sites.




Subterranean Termite Treatment

Subterranean termites build colonies in the soil. This requires specialized treatments such as Taurus SC. These treatments create a protective barrier to eliminate existing termites and prevent future infestations.
How It Works:
Taurus SC, a liquid termiticide, is applied to the soil around the foundation of the building. Termites that come into contact with the treated soil transfer the chemical to other colony members, ensuring complete elimination.
​Advantages:
​
-
Provides long-lasting protection against subterranean termites.
-
Effective for treating large colonies and preventing reinfestation.​

​Considerations:
​
-
Requires professional application for best results.
-
May involve some digging or drilling around the property to apply the chemical barrier.
