Termite Information
Termite pest control is becoming more and more necessary as they cause up billions of dollars in damage annually in the United States. The average cost of eliminating termites and repairing damages can exceed $8,000 if an infestation is not found in time and properly treated. Damages will often go unnoticed for a long time before termite activity is detected because colonies take time to fully mature. That said, once a colony has reached capacity it can have between 60,000 to one million termites which feed on wood cellulose and degrade the structural integrity of a dwelling.
Termites will enter a structure in different ways depending on what type of termite is attacking your home or business. There are specific termites that will swarm into a home via opening in attics and crawl spaces and attack any source of open wood framing. These drywood termites can appear in any area of a home and move through a structure extremely fast once the termite colony is mature. There is another type, subterranean termites, which colonize from underground and reach the foundation pillars via mud tubes and destroy a home from the ground up. The last major variety, dampwood termites, look for moist wood that is exposed to leaks or open water sources and will weaken rotting wood even further. No matter which type of termite your home or business might be under attack from, EcoGuard has experience in battling each and will ensure that a colony no longer presents a problem after treatment is completed.

Custom Termite Treatment Strategy
Custom Termite Treatment Strategy
-
Liquid Soil TreatmentList Item 1
A fast-acting process that begins with targeted liquid treatments in, under, and around your home’s foundation. The treatment works quickly, eliminates termites in the treated area, travels down to the rest of the colony and creates a barrier that termites can’t cross for years to come.
-
Termite Baiting SystemList Item 2
Our more eco-friendly approach, instead of treating just the entire structure at hand, to eradicate termites the old fashioned way. Our Termite Baiting System implements an integrated and strategic approach, that allows the professionals to actively monitor, record, and treat the termite activity as necessary on not only the home but the yard as well. Our baiting system utilizes any one of the termite treatment methods at levels only necessary to control the current and/or future infestation. Bait stations are carefully positioned near likely termite foraging areas then filled with treated cellulose, an irresistible treat to a hungry termite. As termites eat the bait, we monitor, record and and treat as necessary to keep the termites at bay.
-
Termiticide Foam InjectionList Item 3
This industry leading dry foam coats the interior of electrical penetrations, plumbing penetrations, wall voids, and other hard to reach places. It not only eradicate termites, but prevents future termites and other pests. Often times this treatment method is used in conjunction with a liquid treatment and/or a baiting program to increase effectiveness.
-
Termiticide Dust InjectionList Item 4
This industry leading dust is strategically injected into our Termite Baiting System and/or directly into termite galleries inside of the structural wood underneath, inside walls, or in the attic of your home to not only stop the termites in their tracks but for prevention of future infestations. Often times this treatment method is used in conjunction with a liquid treatment and/or a baiting program to increase effectiveness.

Termite Damage Repair & Remediation
Termite damages can cause a home or business to need significant repairs done to restore structural integrity. That said, termite damage beyond repair is rare and can usually be fixed as long as the termite infestation is caught in time. These repairs can be costly and sometimes are not covered by homeowners insurance so let EcoGuard help ensure that your home or business is brought back to its original condition. Our partner contractors are equally qualified and trained to fix any damages that might have been incurred by termites.
-
Recurring Services
The final step of service is ensuring that preventative measures are taken so termites are unable to gain a foothold in your home or business in the future. EcoGuard’s on going services will continue to lay protective chemical applications that will deter termite swarms and keep subterranean termites out. Once repairs have been made, recurring preventative services is the best way to combat termites in the future.
How Do I Get Rid Of Termites?
Solutions For Property Owners
1) Eliminate Moisture Problems:
- Avoid moisture accumulation near the foundation. Divert water away with properly maintained clean downspouts, gutters, and splash blocks.
- Pull or grade the ground near the foundation in order for surface water to drain away from the building.
- Promptly repair leaking faucets, water pipes, and air conditioning units.
- Seal entry points around water and utility lines or pipes.
- Provide proper ventilation in the basement or crawl space to eliminate moisture (e.g., enhance cross ventilation, screen, and remove any vegetation covering vents, etc.)
2) Remove Termite Food Source:
- Keep all wooden parts of the house foundation at least 6 inches above the soil, although an 18-inch gap between the soil and wooden portions of the building is ideal. Use concrete or steel supports, steps, etc. when in contact with soil.
- Check decks and wooden fences regularly for damage. A minimum of 6 to 8 inches between ground level and porch steps, lattice work, door, or window frames, etc. is recommended.
- Install trellises, vines, and trim plants so that they do not contact the house. Do not build flower planters against the house.
- Avoid or minimize use of wood mulch next to the foundation (no more than a 2-inch depth is recommended). When mulch is used, avoid contact against the wood siding, frames of doors, and windows. Pea gravel or crushed stone are much less attractive to termites, ants, millipedes, crickets, and other pests.
- Remove dead trees, debris, stumps, roots, and stacks of firewood from around the building.
- Regularly inspect cracks or joints in concrete slabs for evidence of termites.
Ridding a home of termites requires special skills and is a job for professionals. Knowledge of building construction is needed to identify the critical areas where termites are likely to enter. Many of these potential points of entry are hidden and difficult to access.
Termite control also utilizes specialized equipment such as masonry drills, pumps, large-capacity tanks, and soil treatment rods. A typical treatment may involve hundreds of gallons of a liquid pesticide, known as a termiticide, injected into the ground alongside the foundation, beneath concrete slabs, and within foundation walls. "Do-it-yourself" products, sold to homeowners at retail stores or over the internet, will seldom eradicate an existing termite problem. Termites feed slowly and taking a few weeks to come to a decision regarding your termite control program makes little difference. It is more important to take your time to select a reputable pest control firm.
Use of insecticides like borates (disodium octaborate tetrahydrate) and/or pressure-treated wood (chromated copper arsenate) protect against termites and wood decay fungi. However, over time, even railroad ties, telephone poles and pressure treated wood can be subject to termite attack.
