Termite Prevention: A Crucial Investment
Subterranean Termites pose a significant threat to homes, especially in tropical regions like Barbados. These wood-destroying insects can cause extensive damage if left unchecked. Pre-treatment is the most effective way to protect your home from termite attack and damage.
​
Why Pre-Treat?
​
While termite treatment might seem like an additional expense, it is actually a cost-effective solution. Pre-treatment is a small investment with a significant return compared to the costly repairs needed to fix termite damage.
​
How Pre-Treatment Works
​
-
Foundation Treatment: Treating the foundation footings and floor slab areas before pouring concrete creates a protective barrier against termites.
-
Perimeter Treatment: After construction, drilling the building's perimeter and applying termiticide helps prevent termites from entering.
-
Soil Treatment: Excavating and treating the soil around perimeter walls and walkways further strengthens the barrier.
​
Post-Termite Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide
​
Post-termite treatment is a specialized process designed to eliminate existing termite infestations and prevent future damage. While pre-treatment is ideal, post-treatment offers a valuable solution for homes that have already been affected by termites.
Here is a step-by-step overview:​
​
Post-termite treatment is a crucial step in safeguarding your home from future termite damage. By following this process and working with a qualified pest control professional, you can effectively eliminate existing infestations and prevent future problems.
​
- Thorough Inspection: A certified pest control professional conducts a meticulous inspection of the property to identify termite activity, including damaged wood, mud tubes, and subterranean nests.
-
Strategic Drilling: Small holes are drilled into the perimeter walls and external slab areas, spaced approximately 12 inches apart. These holes serve as access points for the termite treatment.
-
Chemical Injection: A residual, environmentally friendly termiticide is injected into the drilled holes. This specialized chemical creates a protective barrier around the home, disrupting the termites' foraging behavior and eliminating the colony​
Commonly Used Termicides​
​​
- ​​Termidor: While no longer available in Barbados, Termidor was once a popular choice due to its powerful termite elimination capabilities.
-
Premise 75: A highly effective termiticide known for its long-lasting residual action is now the chemical used by this company.​
Important Considerations:
​
-
Professional Treatment: Hiring a licensed pest control professional is crucial to ensure the treatment is done correctly and effectively.
-
Environmental Impact: The chemicals used in termite treatments should be environmentally friendly and minimize risks to humans, pets, and other non-target organisms.
-
Prevention: Regular inspections and preventative measures, such as eliminating moisture sources and maintaining proper ventilation, can help prevent future termite infestations.
By understanding the process of post-termite treatment, you can make informed decisions about protecting your property from these destructive pests.​​
