How Termite Pre-treatment Varies from Regular Termite Treatment

Termite control brings up various terms such as pre-treatment and treatment. This can get quite confusing for a layperson that is looking to secure his or her home against these silent destroyers.

Pretreatment is a preventive procedure that is carried out before the construction of the house has even begun. A professional pest control Ballentyne, Charlotte, North Carolina firm will apply insecticides in the soil beneath the structure and in the foundation itself to make the house completely termite-proof. The treatment will continue during specific points of the construction, like before and after the cement floor is poured, etc.

On the other hand, regular termite treatment is more like a kneejerk reaction after a termite infestation has reared its ugly head. Here, the termiticides or baits are drilled into or around the structure to either repel or kill the termites and put an end to the invasion. At times, even localized spot application can be used to eliminate termites.

Many homeowners even get termite treatments to protect their house and its belongings from the threat of termites. Post-treatment methods also work to safeguard the house from future termite attacks.

The method of treatment, chemical used and amount applied remains largely the same for pre- and post termite control. It’s only the timing that varies!
