Termites
Termites are quite hard to spot, because they prefer to stay underground or inside your homo’s walls. So how can you tell if the termite treatment worked? Here are a few tips on how you can do that.
Instructions
Liquid treatments
- First of all you need to check the nest from which the termites originated.
- Also check the other areas where you applied the termiticide. Check the termite activity in that area and if you can’t see any termites then the treatment was successful.
- Look for more signs of infestation, like mud holes, tubes, wings, swarms, hollow sounding wood, etc.
Termite baits
- Check the termite baits that you have placed near your home. Wait a few days after you have placed them to see if some termites did get to it.
- If you see dead termites, then it means that the baits were too strong. They should only act after a few hours after the termite has got in contact with the bait.
- See if the signs of the termite infestation have diminished. If they had then it’s all OK.
- If you still can see signs of the infestation and also termites, then you should plant the baits in another place.
Tips:
- if you have treated the infestation by yourself, and you didn’t get the wanted results, then you should hire a professional to do the work for you.
