Are Termite Treatments Safe?

Termite treatments are completely safe for you and your family when they are applied or administered by a professional termite control expert.

There are a number of available termite treatments. In general, if a professional exterminator is assisting, you can rest easy that the treatment is completely safe. Trying to treat termites on your own can be harmful, making it important to make sure you are getting the industry’s best treatment options.

Does Termite Treatment Work?

Liquid termite treatments and baiting systems are the most common termite treatments that are regarded to be highly effective in controlling and preventing infestations. Some of the advantages of liquid termiticides include the fact that it allows for accurate treatment with minimal disruption to your landscape, uses a responsible and low-odor dosage, and has been known to last for more than a decade. Baiting stations, on the other hand, are a great system for those who prefer to have a professional regularly monitor their home and baiting stations for effectiveness in keeping termites away.

The Best and Most Safe Termite Treatments in Virginia

Termite Bait Stations
- Bait stations are installed in the ground around your home. The scientifically engineered bait begins working to kill any active colonies.
- The active ingredient in this engineered bait, which is nearly ten times more attractive to termites than wood, works to prevent termites from maturing. When the termites are unable to molt, they will die.
- Ongoing service and inspections by a professional will ensure the bait system continues to work month after month and year after year.
Liquid Termite Treatments
- As soon as a termite ingests or touches a termiticide, it becomes a carrier, transferring the treatment to other termites it contacts.
- These termites in turn become secondary carriers, behaving normally while they transfer the treatment to other termites they contact and spread it like a virus throughout the colony.
- This unique, spiraling process is called the “transfer effect,” and it helps deliver devastating results to termites in order to maximize the protection of your home.
