Budget Brothers Termite Treatment: Standard Treatment Explained

At Budget Brothers Termite & Pest Control, we know that dealing with termites can be stressful for homeowners. Termites are not only destructive, but their infestations can go unnoticed until significant damage has been done. That’s why we offer our standard termite treatment, designed to effectively target and eliminate termite colonies before they can cause more damage to your home. In this post, we’ll explain what’s involved in our standard treatment process and why it’s an effective solution for many termite infestations.

Standard Termite Treatment: A Comprehensive Approach

Our standard termite treatment focuses on using liquid termiticide to create a protective barrier around your home, preventing termites from entering and spreading. This treatment method is ideal for most types of termite infestations and provides long-term protection for your home.

Here’s what our standard treatment includes:

1. Down Drilling:
   We down drill through concrete areas like patios, the interior of your garage, and other hard surfaces that could hide termite activity. Drilling allows us to inject the termiticide into the soil beneath the slab, ensuring that termites can’t enter through these areas.
2. Trenching Around the Home:
   We trench the soil around the foundation of your home, carefully applying the liquid termiticide into these trenches. This creates a barrier that termites must pass through if they attempt to enter your home from the outside.
3. Liquid Termiticide Application:
   The liquid treatment is the heart of the process. This treatment works through contact and transfer. When termites come into contact with the treated area, they carry the termiticide back to the colony, where it spreads from one termite to another, eventually eliminating the entire colony.

How Foam Treatment Works:

• Foam is injected directly into wall voids or other inaccessible areas where termite activity is detected.
• Termites will ingest and absorb the foam treatment, which eventually leads to the destruction of the colony.
• Foam dissipates over time, making it a great option for spot treatments where liquid application is not possible.

Bait Stations: Adding Extra Coverage

For added protection, bait stations can be installed as part of your termite treatment plan. While not included in the standard treatment, bait stations can be an excellent add-on option for additional coverage or when a full-coverage treatment is required. In Arizona, there are an average of 10-15 termite colonies per acre. Bait stations are a great option to help protect the home from termites in the surrounding areas of a structure.

How Bait Stations Work:

• Bait stations are strategically placed around your property. These stations contain a slow-acting termiticide that termites consume and then carry back to the colony.
• Bait stations are particularly effective when there is no active termite activity but preventative measures are desired.
• They offer a secondary layer of protection when combined with the liquid treatment or foam injection.
