Termite Control In AL, LA, & MS

Protect Your Home From Termites With Help From Havard

There are more than 2,000 different termite species that infest homes across the United States, but the two that you are most likely to see in the Southern U.S. are Subterranean and Formosan termites. It’s no secret that termites thrive in warm damp weather. Due to this, it’s important to remain vigilant for signs of infestation in the Spring and early Summer as swarms form more during these times of the year. If you suspect that you have a termite problem, seek professional assistance immediately. Havard’s termite control plan is ideal for homes already infested with termites and for homeowners in termite-prone areas looking to keep termites out.

Termite Control Process

Our technicians will inspect your property for termite activity, damage caused by termites, and conducive conditions to a termite infestation. After the inspection, your technician will discuss your treatment options and recommend the most effective termite control plan for your property. The two termite control methods we employ are termite baiting and the application of liquid termite treatments.

Bait Treatments Administered by Havard

Sentricon is a widely utilized bait praised for being one of the most environmentally friendly options for termite control on the market today. Baiting is effective because it stops termite reproduction at its central hub. Worker termites carry the active ingredient back to their queen, who is then unable to reproduce more offspring.

Liquid Termite Treatment and Pre-Treatment

Termidor is another type of bait that has proved to be very effective and is specially formulated for termite control. It works by sitting low in the ground and administering a constant dose of liquid bait that is irresistible to termites.

Generally, we recommend a liquid pre-treatment plan for property owners building in areas that are prone to termite activity. If neighbors around your home have termite problems, they can easily travel into your lawn looking for food. Liquid pre-treatment plans are usually started before pouring the foundation to ensure the elimination of existing termite forerunners. Next, a liquid solution will be poured around foundation walls and footing along the interior of the build. Along the outside, the same measures will be taken, with additional applications injected deep into the soil near chimney bases and other structures making direct contact with the ground. A follow-up application is usually included in the original treatment plan and scheduled to take place within the first year.

This service includes a one-year reapplication and replacement treatment warranty that can be renewed and transferred during the annual inspection.
