Preventing termite infestations during construction can prevent property damage and save you money in the long run. Hornet Pest Control is one of the best termite control companies in the South Jersey area. We can start protecting your property from termite damage as early as during construction. Here are our top tips and techniques for preventing termite infestation:
Treat the Soil
Using termiticides to treat the soil around your building’s foundation can protect against infestations. This creates a poison barrier against termites, keeping them away from your property.
Hornet Pest Control can treat your soil before you pour your foundation or install any landscaping for maximum protection. Our products are safe for use in domestic environments, so your family will be well cared for as we treat the soil.
Use Termite-resistant Materials for Construction
Utilizing termite-resistant materials in your construction project can impede the access and survivability of termites. These materials may be made from naturally resistant wood species like cedar or treated with chemicals. They include pressure-treated wood, metal, concrete, fiber-reinforced cement, and steel.
Our 30 years of experience in the pest control industry has allowed us to identify some of the best termite-resistant building materials. We can offer expert guidance on the building materials that can safeguard your property from termite damage. By starting with preventative solutions, we can help you avoid more costly problems later on.
Seal Gaps and Cracks
Sealing gaps and cracks during construction can eliminate the routes that termites use to infiltrate structures. Our team can inspect your building for potential entry points and help seal them accordingly. Proper sealing will impede termites’ ability to access and establish colonies on your property.
Conduct Regular Inspections
Regular property inspections can help identify potential infestations early. This can give you time to implement preventative measures and avoid further damage. How often you conduct inspections should depend on your property’s risk of termite activity. The higher the risk, the more inspections you should conduct.
Each home and property has different circumstances and needs. That’s why we offer pocket-friendly packages to minimize our clients’ costs and deliver specific solutions. You can choose from a variety of pest treatments at an affordable cost. With these packages, our team will come out to your property and address whatever issue you need help dealing with. Each of our plans is available for renewal on a yearly basis.
