Termite Treatments In Dayton, OH

Termite Treatment Options

Termite treatment is essential for protecting your property from the costly damage caused by these destructive pests. Choosing the right approach can make all the difference in both effectiveness and long-term cost. Two of the most trusted termite treatment methods are the Trench & Treat and In-Ground Stations. Each method offers unique advantages, from fast-acting results to eco-friendly protection. Both our termite treatment options come with a one-year warranty that is renewable and transferable to new owners at no additional charge.

Whether you’re facing an active infestation or seeking a preventive solution, understanding these termite treatment options will help you safeguard your home with confidence. Read on to learn how each method works and which might be the best fit for your needs.

Trench & Treat Liquid Termite Treatment

We use the best products available – BASF’s Termidor or Taurus. It is the fastest and surest method of dealing with a termite infestation and over the long term, is the most efficient, cost-effective choice. The chemical is confined during application and is bonded to the soil as soon as it dries, killing termites through contact and ingestion. As the termites ingest the treated product and return to their colony, they spread the termiticide through the subterranean tunnels and expire shortly after.

How Trench & Treat Works

Subterranean termites live in colonies just below the soil around your home, barn, or building. Treating the soil around the infested house creates a barrier as the chemical bonds to the soil. Termites cannot detect these chemicals as they crawl through the treated soil or while consuming treated wood or cellulose, making Termidor or Tarus an effective and thorough treatment option. Worker termites tunnel through the barrier in search of cellulose (a wood product) and unknowingly carry the poison back to their nest, rapidly eliminating the entire colony. When the colony has been wiped out, the chemical remains, creating an invisible wall of protection around your home, ready to eradicate any new attacks by another termite colony.

Trench & Treat Application

The treatment begins with a narrow trench alongside the foundation all around the building. The termiticide is then pumped into the trench using a specialized rodding tool, creating a ‘barrier’ between the termite colonies and the foundation as it permeates down and bonds to the soil. After the termiticide has soaked into the ground, the trench is backfilled and smoothed over.

Crawl spaces may require further rodding around piers and pipes in contact with the ground. Any concrete, blacktop or pavers, porch floors, patios, or driveways adjacent to the affected building may require drilling a series of small ½” holes through the surface to inject the termiticide into the ground below, preventing gaps in the barrier. The holes are then sealed to match when the treatment is finished.

Occasionally, certain areas inside the home may require additional treatment, such as around plumbing or in addition to the house. In such cases, we may perform a targeted spot treatment using Termidor foam, especially in concealed spaces like inside walls where suspicious activity is detected.

When the colony has been wiped out the chemical remains, creating an invisible ring of protection around your home, ready to eradicate any new attacks by another termite colony. Termites cannot detect these chemicals as they crawl through the treated soil or while consuming treated wood or cellulose, making BASF’s Trelona baiting system an effective and thorough treatment option.

After the initial service, our technician will return every three months for the first year to check all the bait stations for termite activity, to ensure that they are working as intended, and to replenish the bait cartridges as necessary. At the end of the year, the stations are checked for damage and replaced if necessary with fresh cartridges that are rated for annual inspection. The Trelona baiting system does require annual upkeep to maintain a viable defense against further termite infestations.
