Termites need moisture. That’s why they build mud shelter tubes on top of structures, as they help them to remain moist as they travel from colonies located in the soil to wood.
Subterranean termites can be controlled with either a termiticide soil treatments, aerosol wall void applications, Boracide beam treatments or with termite bait systems.
The chemicals that are used to control termites are extremely low-toxicity and present little risk to people and pets but are extremely effective in eliminating termites.
Of the termite species throughout the United States, subterranean termites are the type most likely to attack your home. They are social insects that nest in underground colonies. There can be millions of termites in a colony, but you may never see evidence of them—until a pest management professional discovers they’ve seriously damaged
your home.
