Termites are one of the most destructive pests that homeowners can encounter. They can cause significant damage to wooden structures in short periods if left unchecked. Preventing termite infestation requires both knowledge and skill, especially in large residential buildings. One of the most effective ways of controlling these pests is through soil treatment. In this case study brought to you by Wake Forest Pest Control, we will show you how we provided effective termite control to a large residential building in need.
Two years ago, a large condo building contacted Wake Forest Pest Control to report a termite infestation. The building was quite old, and the wooden support beams had not been treated in years. Upon conducting an inspection, we discovered that termites had infested the soil beneath the foundation, making soil treatment the best option. We began by applying a termiticide to the soil around the perimeter of the building to create a barrier and prevent the termites from entering and damaging it.
We also engaged in further soil treatment to eliminate the termites that had already infiltrated the structure. This treatment involved drilling holes into the ground slab, injecting the termiticide into the soil, and resealing the holes. Combining these methods led to an effective termite control, helping to prevent any further infestations in the future.
We then provided the building's management with a detailed report on how they could avoid future infestations. This report outlined how to identify a termite infestation, possible attracting factors, and preventative measures. We gave recommendations for conducting routine inspections and treatments, sealing entry points, and monitoring the soil.
Wake Forest Pest Control continues to monitor the building for any signs of renewed infestation. However, since our treatment, no such sighting has been reported. With an effective approach to soil treatment, our company's exceptional knowledge & expertise, we believe that successful termite control in large residential buildings requires a unique skill set.
In another similar case. a residential estate with over 100 palatial homes contacted Wake Forest Pest Control. The complex has significant grounds, and their plantation was suspected of thriving on termites, leading to the occurrence of termite infestation. An investigation revealed that the estate's vegetation, including the lawns and trees, were at fault. Trees provided a bridge for termites to reach the estate foundations; vegetable patches provided an extensive food source for the infestation.
Through a combination of soil treatment, tree trimming, and lawn reconfiguration, we restored the termite state's health. The soil beneath the vegetation was treated and the trees cut back to limit the termite lengths, and vegetable patches were cleared to reduce the attractiveness of the grounds.
The moral of these two cases is that effective termite control for large residential buildings requires intricate knowledge and attention to detail, more so than is usually given to small residential homes. A reliable pest expert who knows the unique soil and environmental factors at play, such as Wake Forest Pest Control, can help to provide an effective solution. They can not only eliminate the termites but also identify other potential issues that could lead to infestation in the future. At Wake Forest Pest Control, we offer residential termite control services to multi-family properties, large residential complexes, and homeowner associations. Contact us today for more information.
