Why Cannot I Spray Termites with Insecticides

Simply spraying termites with insecticides is an inefficient and ineffective method of combating an infestation. There are a number of methods that will ensure that you have done the job right. Because of the potential for destruction, you need to make sure that you squash a potential infestation quickly and effectively.

The three best methods of termite prevention and eradication are the termite barrier, for prevention, a reticulation system, for eradication, and the bait station, for eradication. The termite barrier is a moisture barrier that is placed on top of the foundation slab during the building of a house. It deters the termite from travelling up into the superstructure of the building because it has been coated with an insecticide which, while safe for people and the environment, repulses termites.

The reticulation is another system that is generally installed during construction, though unlike the barrier, it can be retrofitted later. It is a series of pipes that allow the pest controller to deliver insecticides directly into problem areas in the home, hitting the termites where it hurts. These systems are incredibly effective.

The last method is the bait station. These stations are buried strategically around your property and when a termite encounters them, they eat the bait, which has a delayed effect, and then they go back to the colony where they spread the poison, meaning that the entire colony is wiped out.
