Pointe Pest Termite Control

Termite colonies can be extremely large and well organized; they always seem to find a way inside your home regardless of the type of construction. What’s more is that termites and carpenter ants are often eating away at the structure of your home without you knowing. Pointe Pest Control offers a variety of advanced treatment methods in order to control and eliminate both termites and carpenter ants in and around your home.

Liquid Treatments

A liquid treatment is directed at the exact spots where termites and carpenter ants are most active. Liquid treatments are applied to critical entry points, such as in concrete cracks or around plumbing pipes. Liquid treatments may also be applied below grade some 18 to 24 inches deep, directly around the perimeter of your home. A liquid treatment creates an effective barrier protecting your home against future attacks.

Monitoring and Baiting

Our Termite Monitoring and Baiting program requires that monitoring stations be placed in the ground around your home in order to detect and eradicate termite activity. The process follows these steps:

1. Our service technician will place stations in strategic locations around your home. These stations contain monitoring devices for termites.
2. The technician inspects the stations regularly. If a monitoring device shows any signs of termite activity, the technician will place a termite bait in the station in place of the monitoring device.
3. Termites begin to feed on the bait and take it back to their colony. In a short time, the entire colony is successfully controlled or completely eliminated.
4. After termite activity has been eliminated, your service technician will replace it with another monitoring device, followed by regular inspections.
