Pest Control in Action: How to Control Termites with Chemical Treatment
Have you ever wondered how professionals deal with termite problems? Our Pest Control in Action video series gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how we take on tough pest situations.
When termites are detected, professional pest controllers must act quickly to manage the infestation and protect the property. In this Pest Control in Action episode, we follow Allstate technician Josh as he carries out a comprehensive chemical termite treatment.
The chemical termite treatment process
- Preparation
Josh begins by clearing access paths around the exterior walls of the home to allow for efficient treatment. Since this property had been previously treated, he locates the pre-existing drill holes to be reused. - Exterior Drill and Inject
Using a specialised drill, Josh reopens the series of holes around the home’s perimeter at regular intervals. This allows the termiticide chemical to be pressure-injected into the soil surrounding the property. - Interior Drill and Inject
Moving indoors, Josh also drills new holes through interior walls and injects termiticide into any potential termite entry points from inside the home. - Sub-Floor Spraying
In properties with accessible underfloor areas, Josh applies a liquid termiticide spray throughout the sub-floor space to create another defensive barrier against termites. - Hole Patching
After the chemical injections, Josh carefully patches up all the drill holes using cement to conceal the treatment points.
