Drywood termites are common in the state of Florida, often going undetected for a long period of time because they are so difficult to spot. Once they’ve invaded a property, they can create significant damage to homes and businesses, destroying the structural integrity. Fortunately, there are several termite control options available to eliminate and protect your property from these wood-destroying pests. Let’s review our recommended drywood termite solutions to consider.
Drywood Termite Solutions
Tent Fumigation
Tent fumigation will fully eradicate drywood termite infestations. Tent fumigation involves the process of a sealed tent being placed over your entire home or structure where it will be filled with gas to eliminate drywood termites. Tent fumigation will usually last between 24 to 72 hours, depending on the severity of the infestation. During this time, occupants and pets must vacate the home. After the tent is removed, your home or business is ventilated, and the air quality is tested to ensure that it is safe to enter.
Drywood Alternative Treatment
No-tent treatment is an alternative solution to tent fumigations. These treatments don’t require you to vacate the property. These treatments are applied by directly injecting a non-repellent termite product into drywood termite galleries to eliminate them. No-tent treatments work as soon as they’re applied, eliminating termites as soon as they become in contact with the treated areas and once it reaches the termite queen, the entire termite colony is eliminated.
Drywood Preventative Treatments
A drywood preventative treatment is another no-tent approach to preventing drywood termites. This solution helps protect homes from termites by treating targeted areas and preventing a potential infestation to begin with. Once the solution is applied, the residual treatment continues to work and protect against drywood termites, without the need for you to vacate the home.
