What is the Most Effective Termite Treatment for Wood?

So, you're in need of termite treatment. In this part of the world, you are far from alone in that respect, but that is no consolation. The point is: how are you going to deal with the problem? You can be proactive or reactive and if what you are doing is attacking the troops you can see, you are missing the point. Here is a better way of looking at it in the long term: what is the most effective termite treatment for wood?

If you look this up online, you will find any number of treatments. Armed with one of these, you may feel like the termite terminator as you follow the instructions (or not, as the case may be) and unleash your power on this huge army of tiny foes who are intent upon destroying your property. But what are you treating? The problem itself or just the symptoms?

Termites Nesting In Wood

It's a good feeling being that tough guy, like the vigilante cleaning up the town. No wood-eating insect messes with your home, right? But unfortunately, you are an amateur, and by definition amateurs don't have the knowledge that professionals do. Are you treating the parts that can stop the invasion or just the latest signs that a termite inspection found? Are you using the most effective weapon for the job? Are you using something dangerous?

Here's one thing to consider: rather than steaming in, guns blazing as you blast the termite into oblivion, how about taking a more thoughtful, termite preventive approach? Termites eat wood, so how about making the wood in your property inedible for them? This can be done when building a new house installing steel frames or treated timber is great. We at dentec pest in Dubbo tackle termite infestations with bait, this is the most effect way of dealing with termites.

Termites Up Close

Taking this kind of approach is tackling the root of the problem rather than wasting time and effort elsewhere while the problem just keeps self-generating.

Termite damage is not confined to residential units, of course. Commercial and industrial buildings are potentially vulnerable too, so it makes sense to get the infrastructure treated rather than waiting for the trouble to start.
