Our Effective Strategies for Termite Prevention | Unlimited Exterminators

As a homeowner in St. Louis, protecting your property from pests like termites is essential. Termites can cause significant damage to your home, leading to costly repairs. At Unlimited Exterminators, we offer a range of effective termite prevention methods tailored to the unique needs of our community. Here’s an overview of our top treatments and how they work.

1st Line of Defense

Conventional/Liquid Termiticides

While our baiting systems are a preferred choice, we also offer conventional liquid termiticides for those who may need them. This method involves drilling holes around your foundation and pumping liquid termiticides into the soil. Liquid termiticides fall into two categories:

1. Repellent Termiticides: These create a chemical barrier around your home to deter termites from entering.

2. Non-Repellent Termiticides: These chemicals are carried back to the colony by termites, effectively eliminating both the exposed termites and others in contact with them.

Although effective, using liquid termiticides is labor-intensive and can be invasive, requiring hundreds of gallons of chemicals pumped into the ground around your home. Additionally, these treatments can remain in the soil for years, which may concern some homeowners.

2nd Line of Defense

Termite Monitor/Baiting Systems

One of the most environmentally friendly and effective options we provide is termite baiting systems. These systems specifically target termites while minimizing chemical exposure to your home and family. Here are some advantages of using baiting systems:

• Safety for Sensitive Individuals: The bait stations contain no chemicals until termites are discovered, ensuring safety for families with chemical sensitivities. The bait is secured in a locked underground container, away from children and pets.

• Proactive Prevention: These bait systems can be installed proactively, especially in homes at higher risk of infestations, without damaging your property.

  
  

This non-invasive method provides a greener alternative for protecting your home against subterranean termites.

Borates: Spray or Foam Treatment

Borates are another effective method for controlling termite infestations, particularly during the construction phase of your home. This treatment is used for both drywood and subterranean termites, as well as other wood-destroying insects. Here’s how borates work:

• Application: Borates are sprayed on unfinished wood or foamed into walls, stopping termites without the need for soil application.

• Timing: They can be applied during construction when the house is being framed, ensuring protection from the start.

• Post-Construction: After building, unfinished areas such as crawlspaces and joists can be treated. It’s important to seal treated surfaces within six months to maintain effectiveness.
