Dual Action Termite Home Protection

Our Dual Action Termite Home Protection consists of two state of the art termite defense techniques providing homeowners with maximum protection from costly termite damage. One technique monitors the perimeter of the home for activity nearing your home while the other protects your home from termite invasions for many years.

Termite Bait Stations

Green Guard Pest Control uses perimeter bait stations as the main source for controlling termite activity. Bait stations allow us to attract the termites to a centralized feeding area. Pieces of non-toxic food that termites are known to prefer to eat are placed in these bait stations. The stations are designed to help make sure that foraging termites easily find and begin feeding on this food.

Once activity is noticed in the stations, we add a slow-acting toxicant bait inside the station without disturbing the feeding termites. This new bait acts slowly enough that the feeding termites return to the colony and infect the entire colony with the toxicant, thus eliminating the entire colony.

The quantity of toxicant bait added to the station is very small, and is very low in toxicity to humans. The active ingredient we use to eliminate the termite colony is less toxic to humans and pets than table salt. This is because the active ingredient only affects animals that molt, and humans and our pets do not molt.

 

Once all active termite colonies are eliminated, there is always the possibility that the colony can be re-populated by new termites. For this reason, we return on a quarterly basis to re-inspect the bait stations in order to insure that re-infestation does not occur.

Liquid Treatment

In addition to the perimeter based bait stations, we also use liquid termiticide treatment for protection under patios and driveways that are too wide for effective use of bait stations alone. This may involve drilling small holes in your patio and garage/driveway area so that the termiticide can be injected around the foundation of your home. This termiticide, like the active ingredient in the bait stations, will infect the termites that come in contact with it. They will in turn infect other foraging termites that they come in contact with, and eventually the entire colony will be eliminated.
