Finding out your home is infested with termites is not the kind of news that will make you jump for joy. However, a trained, knowledgeable pest control company like the folks at Atlantic Pest Control in Atlantic, IA, can help you get rid of termites once and for all.

There are two treatments for termite control: conventional treatment and exterior perimeter/ localized interior treatment. Conventional treatment has been used for over 50 years and involves treating the soil on both sides of the home’s foundation walls. It also treats the voids of cinder blocks located in the foundation walls and the soil under plumbing, in slabs, and in bath traps. This type of treatment normally requires drilling to treat the affected areas; however, the amount of drilling depends on the construction of the home.

The other type of termite control is the exterior perimeter and localized interior treatment. This treatment targets the soil adjacent to the exterior of the home’s foundation in order to intercept pest attacks. The interior treatment is only applied live termites are found in the interior area of the foundation. This type of treatment reduces the amount of drilling required to rid your home of termites, and the treatment can use less termiticide than the conventional treatment.

Although there are several ways to treat for termites, only a professional pest control company will know which method is best for your home.
