Termite Control
Termites are small to mid-sized frail insects. Classified under a caste system, termites are defined by three main social classes; reproductive termites, soldier termites and worker termites. The reproductive termites are the only termites with wings and are dark brown to blackish in color. Soldiers and workers are creamy white in color. The best way to distinguish the two is to compare its jaws size. Soldier termites have noticeably large pinchers called pincers.

Termites
As we all know termites are considered one of the most destructive pests due to their wood diet. History records billions of dollars worth of damages each year caused by these pests. Even though we stereotype termites as wood eaters, termites also crave for paper, insulation and other components of a house. Very few homeowners are not aware that termite damage is not widely covered under their homeowner’s insurance policy. When termite infestation is obvious, we encourage our patrons to immediately and proactively take steps towards protecting their homes against termites. First and foremost, you should identify your termite problem. Each termite has its own uniqueness in terms of colony location, geographical location and preference of wood. There are four different kinds of termites you should be aware of: Drywood Termites, Formosan Termites, Subterranean Termites and Damp Wood Termites. For more information about each termite, please click the above corresponding links.
How to Get Rid of Termites
Termites can potentially show up during any time of the year, but generally problems associated with termites come about during the spring time. Due to warmer climates and rainy days, it is this time of year where termites flourish. Termite colonies start to “spring” up and most of the time it is very difficult to manage. Due to subterranean and inner wood complications, with most termite situations, it is recommended to hire professional assistance and a home inspection should be called upon for a thorough check to verify the stage and severity of your termite infestation. Majority of termite problems do require professionals for controlled solutions. However, “doing it yourself” is encouraged when termite prevention is a concern to save money. For a reliable termite monitor and preventive control, we suggest looking into our Termite Baiting Systems.
Remember, identifying your termite species is crucial before any prevention control method is applied due to termites’ location preferences. Subterranean termites prefer residing underground in soil while others, such as drywood termites will never touch soil and form their colonies within their wood resource. Moreover, choosing the wrong control method for a certain termite will be ineffective and above all, a waste of money. After identifying your termite species, you can then select the right control method for prevention.

Q. Termite Prevention
What is the best product to protect against Termite. termite control company wants to charge $900. Can I do it myself, how much will it cost? I have around 300 ft to protect.
A. For subterranean termites, it is best to trench around the perimeter of the house. Termidor or Dominion are the leading products. You will use about 4 gallons of solution every 10 linear feet. Trenching will have a residual of about 4-5 years. If you are infested with drywood termites, Premise foam is effective for spot treatments.

Q. What time of year is it best to treat for termites?
How do you verify that an exterminating company is a good company?
A. Although termites will remain active all year, it is best to treat after the winter in the spring. That is because it is easiest to apply termiticides or install stations when the ground is softer that the winter's frozen ground. Also, peak activity usually starts right as the winter is ending and into the spring. It really depends on your location. Also, services will sometimes over charge for labor and many times, services will undercharge without providing quality services. It's best to get estimates and compare. Also, look into reviews of the company and rely on your personal relations with other homeowners. It really is a judgement call.

Q. termite prevention
What can I use to prevent my home from getting termites?
A.
Thank you for contacting us with your concern. If you have not yet found an infestation and want to use something as a preventative or monitoring purpose we have bait stations that you can plant around the perimeter of the structure in which you are wanting to monitor. All professional pest control companies use monitoring systems for termite treatment.
Termite Monitoring SystemsWe carry several different brands of these professional use systems that you can refer to on the above link.
Once you have planted these stations it is recommended that you check quarterly to see if you can spot any infestation to any of the monitoring bases.
Once an infestation has been spotted to the monitoring cartridge you will need to exchange it out with the bait poison cartridge. Bait cartridges are only necessary inside the stations that have a spotted infestation.

Q. products to use for termite treatments
How about using both Termidor SC and Dominion 2L at the same time? I have a lot of termites in my shed at the farm, 63 x 40. So far, just the wood stacked around, not the framing of the shed yet. I have identified them as subterranian type. I want and need them dead now before they find the shed framing and wood shelving. Can I just pour this stuff all over the inside of the shed, it has a dirt floor throughout. Thanks
A.
It would not be wise to use two different types of termiticides together. Also, all products come with product labels with strict directions on dilutions rates and application methods.
If they are not followed, you may have a negative effect.
However, Termidor is one of the top termite control products on the market and Termidor alone may control your termite infestation. The best way to use Termidor would be through ground treatment.Was this helpful?

Q. house has shallow well (termite treatment)
what can i use to treat for termites if i have a well for drinking water
A. You would not be able to use a chemical insecticide around the well. The best you could possibly do is to use a termite baiting system.
We recommend the Advance Termite Baiting system for you.
After three months of monitoring, if you see that there is an infestation of termites, you can replace the monitoring cartridges with a chemical based cartridge that will not "leak" because its not of liquid form.If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to contact us again.

Q. orange oil termite treatment
My house is a 2008 new construction. I discovered a pin size hole near the base of a wooded wall unit, from which termite eggs are trickling out. Which product method would you recommend for a DIYer? It must be SAFE. Orange oil? How can I inject into a pin sized hole?
A.
I don't believe Orange Oil active ingredient will be very effective against termite control.
Also, you must really be able to identify the species of termites for optimal results because there are a variety of ways a homeowner can treat a specific species of termites.
I recommend that you recieve an inspection first. Most pest control services will give you a free inspection. Once you receive the inspection, we may be able to better assist you with the right materials.

I'm a clean freak but I guess it just can't be helped that sometimes, I will get roaches...I know that now since I live in an apartment and I know that roaches can travel in the walls. I was worried that I had to keep paying for an exterminator. I can't afford one and of course, I just didn't know what to do. Pest Mall helped me out a lot and was really patient with me. Alpine Gel Piston is super easy to use and it totally works!
