Getting Rid Of Termites – The Old Way
The traditional way of exterminating termites is by
fumigation. This involves tenting the structure, sealing it up and pumping in
lethal gas to kill the termites. This obviously means that the house will have
to remain empty for a couple of days, all the food, drink and other consumables
removed and, in some cases, the utilities disconnected. This is an effective
method, but the hazardous gases used pose a safety issue, as consequent to the
fumigation, the house must be aired well before it is occupied again.The
disruption to the daily routine is also a major factor – the family has to
check into a hotel, a home found for pets and a different dailycommute to work
and schools, which are just few of the hassles. The best and safest way to ensure that the
fumigation is effective is to have the job done by a licensed and experienced
termite control company.
The New Way
An alternative and new option is to opt for theanti-fumigation
termite control process. This is done by using special chemicals of low
toxicity that will kill the termites,as effectively as the traditional method,
but with quicker results, employing just a day for the process. The chemicals
are infused into the termite infested areas in the home, and no gas is used,
which means that no tenting is required. The use ofchemicals which are neither
poisonous nor do they leave a stain, means that you will, normally, be able to
go home by the evening and return to your normal routine with the minimum
disruption. At times, carefullyfocusedmicrowave energy is used. This is
directed to the infested areas and since termites are 90% water, it boils and
kills them. Non-fumigation extermination service, is a new and very specialized
technique and not all exterminators can offer this service. If this is the option
you want to consider, use a company that is qualified to offer this special service.
