Termite Prevention: A Crucial Investment

​

Especially in tropical areas like Barbados, subterranean termites are a big threat to homes. These insects can cause serious damage if they're not dealt with. The best way to protect your home from termites and the damage they cause is through what is known as a pre-treatment.

​

What is a Pre-Treatment

​

A termite pretreatment involves applying termiticides  to the soil before building or constructing a structure. The chemical whether Fipronil or Imidacloprid is applied to  the footings and the slab floor areas before casting occurs.  It is a crucial preventative measure to protect new homes and structures from termite infestations. 

​

How Pre-Treatment Works

​

• Foundation Treatment: Treating the foundation footings and floor slab areas before pouring concrete creates a protective barrier against termites.

• Perimeter Treatment: After construction, drilling the building's perimeter and applying termiticide helps prevent termites from entering.

• Soil Treatment: Excavating and treating the soil around perimeter walls and walkways further strengthens the barrier.

​

 

Post-Termite Treatment:

​

This treatment is carried out after completion of the building or structure.  Post-termite treatment is a specialized process designed to eliminate existing termite infestations and prevent future damage. While pre-treatment is ideal, post-treatment offers a valuable solution for homes that have already been affected by termites.

Here is a step-by-step overview:​

​

By following this process and working with  qualified pest management professionals, you can effectively eliminate existing infestations and prevent future problems.

​

The process involves the following:

​

• Thorough Inspection: A qualified pest management professional will thoroughly inspect your property for signs of termite activity, such as wood damage, mud tubes, and nests.

• External: For effective termite treatment, small irrigation holes will be drilled at regular intervals along the exterior perimeter walls and slab (pavement) areas. These holes allow us to apply thetermiticide.

• Interior:  Drilling is generally avoided on the inside to minimize disruption. However, if termites are discovered on the interior, we will target the treatment in the area of infestation. 

• Chemical Injection: An effective termiticide, such as Fipronil or Imidacloprid, will be carefully injected into the pre-drilled holes. These chemicals are undetectable to subterranean termites and work by disrupting their nervous system. This process leads to the elimination of the termite colony in the soil, ultimately protecting your property.​

 

Commonly Used Termicides​

​​

• ​​Termidor: While no longer available in Barbados, Termidor was once a popular choice due to its powerful termite elimination capabilities.

• Premise 75: A highly effective termiticide known for its long-lasting residual action is now the chemical used by this company.​

 

Important Considerations:

​

• Professional Treatment: Hiring a licensed pest control professional is crucial to ensure the treatment is done correctly and effectively.

• Environmental Impact: Our chemicals are environmentally friendly and minimize risks to humans, pets, and other non-target organisms.

• Prevention: This should include regular inspections and preventative measures, such as eliminating moisture sources and maintaining proper ventilation. This would assist in preventing future termite infestations.

 

By understanding the process of post-termite treatment, you can make informed decisions about protecting your property from these destructive pests.​​
