Understanding the Unseen Threat
In the battle against pests, it’s not only the critters we can see that pose a problem. The unseen invaders – those pests that make their homes in the soil around our properties – can be just as damaging, if not more so. Many types of pests, such as subterranean termites and certain types of ants, originate from the soil, making it a critical battlefield in pest control.
Soil Treatments: A First Line of Defense
When it comes to managing these unseen invaders, soil treatment is a vital first line of defense. By treating the soil around your property, you can prevent these pests from ever making their way into your home or business.
Soil treatments generally involve the application of a termiticide or pesticide to the soil surrounding your property. This creates a chemical barrier that kills or repels pests attempting to infiltrate your home. This strategy is particularly effective against subterranean termites, which travel through soil in their search for food.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Soil treatment for pest control can be broken down into two types: repellent and non-repellent treatments. Repellent treatments are designed to deter pests from crossing the treated soil. On the other hand, non-repellent treatments are invisible to pests and will kill them after exposure.
The choice between these two options depends on the type of pest you’re dealing with and the extent of the infestation. Non-repellent treatments are often more effective for larger infestations because they can kill off an entire colony.
