Professional Termite Control & Exterminator Company

Liquid Treatment – a liquid treatment is performed by trenching, or digging, around the perimeter of the foundation of a home and applying a liquid chemical treatment.  At Environmental we use Termidor which is the highest quality chemical treatment on the market specifically for termites.  The goal with the liquid treatment is to create a barrier around the home’s foundation which kills termites on contact.  Liquid treatments are highly effective when termites are present in or around the home.  The life span of a liquid treatment is 7-10 years so it is best to retreat, or as we call it a “booster” treatment, every 7 years.

Bait Stations – There are multiple brands of bait stations.  We use the Advance Termite Bait System.  Bait stations are “tubes” that are planted into the ground, like a sprinkler head, and contain bait inside the tubes.  The way baits work is that the termites find the bait station, come into contact with the bait, and then bring it back to the termite colony and infecting the other termites which kills the entire colony.  Bait stations are best used when there is not an immediate termite issue in or right around the home (use liquid in that situation for the fastest results) but rather are best used as a preventative measure against termites.  Bait stations are typically serviced every 90 days to inspect each “tube” and refill bait as needed.
