subject: Is Pest Nightmare to your family? [print this page] Noticeable signs of active pest infestations cannot be found very easily; perhaps you probably won't notice pest activities at the first place. The Run-off moisture, the drainage condensation under home, wood house framing, wooden flooring, debris in crawl space, stumps, landscape timbers, minute cracks on your walls, concrete blocks or basement foundations and around utility pipes, controlled temperatures create favorable conditions for termites year-round. It is believed that termite eat non- stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Termites feed on cellulose-based material that includes wood, books, boxes,
furniture and drywall. There are plenty of methods for discouraging termites from feasting on a person's home. They are social insects so they live in colonies and once a colony moves in, it can be difficult to exterminate them.
Termite Control Noida emphasize that there are various types of termite control treatments available depending upon the layout
of the premises and intensity of termite infestation. Signs of infestation are earthen (mud) tubes extending over foundation walls, support piers, walls, trees, roofs, floors etc. Sometimes there will be no visible indication that the home/premises
are infested. Termites are cryptic creatures and infestations can go undetected for years, hidden behind walls, floor coverings, insulation, and other obstructions. Termite feeding and damage can even progress undetected in wood that is exposed because the outer surface is usually left intact. Termites need moisture to survive and will die if exposed to sunlight or open air. Their tunnels protect them from such elements. High moisture areas like basements and crawl spaces are very attractive to termites and can serve as starting points for infestation.
Pest Control services in Gurgaon stresses that ridding termites requires special skills. Termite control also utilizes specialized equipment and sometimes it may involve many litres of liquid pesticide called termiticide injected into the ground alongside the foundation, beneath concrete slabs, and within foundation walls. Termiticide provide a long
lasting chemical barrier that excludes termites in the ground from entering buildings. These type of termite treatments are very effective but the actual length of control depend on various factors like thoroughness of application, environmental conditions and intensity of termites in the area.
Pest Control Delhi suggests that these termiticides are approved by various government and international organizations. They pose no significant hazard to humans, pets or environment when applied according to directions. Apart from termiticides; baits and repellents also come handy. Baits are wood, cardboard or other cellulose-containing products soaked in a pesticide. Termites eat the baits and carry particles back to their nests, poisoning the rest of the colony. Repellents discourage
termites from entering a particular area. These can help keep termites from colonizing a new site in your home.
