Top 5 Effective Methods for White Ant Control in Your Home
Some of the most effective control methods for a termite problem include:
Chemicals: Liquid termiticides are installed in the soil around the foundation or directly into infested wood. They kill, or repel, termites and leave a barrier on treated surfaces to thwart them.
Baiting systems: If you have them around your home, termite bait stations can hold slow-acting poison. Termites bring it home, killing off the whole colony slowly.
Boric acid: This naturally occurring insecticide can be used in baits or as an area treatment for infested spaces. It does so by desiccating termites and attacking their nervous system.
Fumigation: Once popular but now a last resort, fumigation entails tenting your home and pumping in gas to kill every termite and larva. It is a weapon employed only when there is no alternative.
Physical barriers: Physical obstacles, such as mesh or sand being laid around your home, can prevent termites from entering. It is most effective when used together with chemical treatments.
