Drywood Termite Problem
April through July are when drywood termites are most active.
Termites love to eat, with their scissor like jaws they feast on wooden structures 24/7. If not identified and treated they can cause hundreds to thousands of dollars in home repairs. Unlike, subterranean termites, drywood termites do not need moist soil to survive. Instead they get all the moisture they need from the wood they consume and the humidity in the air.
Termites can infest a single area, or an entire structure, which is why it is important to have a professional termite inspector do a thorough inspection. Black Knight Termite and Pest Control has highly trained inspectors that can inspect residential or commercial properties, also structures like sheds, barns, garages, and more. Every structure and situation is different, by choosing the right professional they can help guide you with what type of treatment is right for you. Treatment for drywood termites can range from foam injection, fumigation, to Thermal Heat Treatment, depending on the situation of infestation.
Thermal Heat Treatment
Thermal Heat is favored by many for different reasons.
One being the convenience it brings to the customer. Heat Treatment can be used to eliminate a drywood termite infestation without the customer having to leave the property, unlike fumigation. For businesses there is no added down time of closing down shop, since the treatment can be completed in a matter of hours depending on the size of the infestation. Propane heaters are used in treating drywood termites instead of harsh chemicals. Which makes Thermal Heat Treatment the safe, eco-friendly, green approach in pest control elimination.
If you think that you have a termite infestation call a professional right away to assess the damage. From there you will get an understanding of which termite treatment is right for you. Thermal Heat Treatment is 100% effective in elimination of drywood termites and other wood destroying organisms.
