To treat for subterranean termites the soil around the base of the home or structure must be treated. We can teach you how to properly trench and/or drill if necessary to treat those areas with the proper products, at the correct mixing rates to achieve the best results.

2. Make it difficult for termites to live or hide near you home, eliminate hiding places such as:

Lumber and firewood piles (stack them away from the home and up off of the ground).
Remove leaf litter and bark chips next to the home.
Eliminate moisture directly next to the home (leaking hose bibs and air conditioner condensation lines are sources to look for).
Maintain a 2-3 inch gap between the ground and the base of the sill plate where the stucco starts.
