What to Expect During Termite Control
If you think you have a termite infestation, you should call a termite control company and schedule a visit to your home to fix the problem. If it is your first time to have termite control done, you might have questions on what happens during the visit. Termites need to be dealt with because they will destroy your home little by little every day. It is important that you know what to expect during the visit.
Inspection
The inspector is going to go through the whole property and might need to assess risk factors that might go beyond your control. They will check the entry points in the walls, around the house and other risk factors such as standing water. There might also be visible tunnels, insects or nests that need to be addressed, so they will check those as well. The inspection could also test for moisture in the wood and check for any damages.
Elimination of the Termites
The termite control company needs to act fast to get all of the termites out. This is a priority, and in order to get rid of all the termites, they will need to kill the colony using an effective elimination system. You need to find out what method they will be using and if it will be effective.
How Will They Do It?
If the termite control company did a great job, you can expect the treatment to last for a long time. The treatment will be initiated from the ground, and it will break down slowly. The termite control experts create a barrier around the affected structure or your home and pushes the termite colony away so they will leave your home. They can also use a non-repellent that gives them control over the colony because the infected termites will take the treatment to their colony, killing all of them.
Review and Written Report
There is a possibility that the termite control team would have to spend some extra time putting together their findings and what they did. They can make an official report so you can expect them to write down what happened and what their plans are for future treatments in case it is necessary. This will give you an assurance that they carried out the proper steps and procedures to get rid of termites in your home. This is what you can expect during a termite control operation in your home.
