Controlling Subterranean Termites In Cumming Georgia

Located in the Termite Red Zone of the South East United States. Cumming Georgia Subterranean termites in structures cannot be controlled using many of the normal techniques that are appropriate for drywood termites. This is because a large majority of the termites reproduce and are concentrated in nests near or below ground level out of reach of these control methods. The primary methods of controlling these termites are insecticides, either applied to the soil adjacent to the structure, directly to nests via shelter tubes, or through bait stations. Shelter tubes should also be destroyed and removed if possible to stop the termites from getting any additional protection from the pest control application.

Liquid applications of pesticides can be used for subterranean termite control and applied directly to the soil either in drenches or by injection. There are no reliable over-the-counter termite control products available for the public in Cumming Georgia; almost all effective products are for professional use only. Thats why if you reside in Cumming Georgia and have a termite problem or need general pest control you should reach out to the professionals at Monitor Pest Control. They are highly trained at dealing with Termite Infestations in Cumming Georgia.

Our Pest management professionals are provided special training due to the knowledge needed for applying pest and termite control solutions to the soil around and under buildings. Applications in the wrong place can cause contamination of heating ducts and/or damage to radiant heat pipes or plumbing used for water or sewage under the treated building. Soil type, weather, and application techniques influence the mobility of insecticides in the soil; soil-applied insecticides must not leach through the soil profile to contaminate groundwater or run off to contaminate surface water.

Newly introduced pest control solutions such as our once per year pest control application are less toxic to humans and other mammals than the older insecticides but remain highly toxic to insects. These insecticides, including chlorantraniliprole, fipronil, and imidacloprid are non-repellent to termites and have been shown to be effective in killing termites at low dosage rates in Cumming Georgia’s climatic conditions. Another procedure for Termite Extermination in Cumming Georgia is Baiting. Subterranean termite baits, which are composed of slow-acting insecticides are consumed during feeding and shared within the colony, Generally, bait is delivered within a cellulose or wood matrix infused with the active ingredient and installed underground at regular intervals around a structure. Commercial bait products are also available for above-ground use, where there is no soil for in-ground station installation. This method of controlling termites is very appealing because it doesn’t require extensive site preparation, such as trenching, or extensive application of insecticides to the soil or structure, and because the most effective baits use insect growth regulators (IGRs) to suppress or destroy the entire colony. IGRs have very low toxicity to humans and their pets. The most effective bait products, however, are available for professional use only. Monitor Pest Control can service all your home pest control needs including the eradication and extermination of termites.
