Benefits Of A Cypress Termite Inspection

A few individuals who own a home or a building will at one time or another need to hire a Cypress termite inspection firm to chase away rodents or other bugs and insects with poisons or other methods. With that being said, not all contractors are qualified to do this work properly so it is important to use certified personnel every time a problem arises. To find a professional in your area check the internet and ask friends, family, and coworkers about who they use.

A few years ago, if you were dealing with termites, bugs known for eating through wood, a deep trench was dug circling the entire property. Once the trench was completed then toxic chemicals were poured in the trench creating a barrier between the nest and the property they were eating away at to destroy. Today there are methods that are more modern where tubs are placed in gardens filled with food. These feeding stations are placed a few feet apart from each other and monitored by hand-held computers. Wherever activity is determined, the focus of concentration is in this area rather than the whole property having to be soaked in poison.

What happens is the poisoned food will eventually end up at the nest killing all the insects there. Once the queen is killed, the colony will die. Once a barrier is created between the colony and the food supply, insects will travel elsewhere looking for food.

These creatures are known for traveling long distances searching for food so it is very unlikely that a nest will be spotted by the naked eye. They are clever creatures known for laying a scent trail to alert others of a good food source. This is why beams and other wood are eaten instantaneously even when some preventative measures are taken.

This method of treatment has been known to work well on historic buildings where it would be next to impossible to dig a trench. Just imagine the White House having to have a trench dug around it.

Termites love the cellulose that is found in wood, which is found in almost all buildings. Once these little munching machines set up residence the damage that can be done is tremendous. All the while, the unsuspecting victim is unaware of the damage being done until it is too late.

Some signs to look for are dust droppings under furniture, hollow sounding beams, and brown earth “tubes” which are seen traversing immovable objects like concrete or metal. If tunnels are found around your property, it is best to call in the Cypress termite inspection firm who can inspect the building.

Always make sure you know what types of chemicals or poisons will be used in and around your home, especially if children or pets are present. Once you have an infestation of any type, not only termites, it is important to contact the professionals who have experience in handling
