What do Termite look like?

Termites are small, pale-colored insects that often go unnoticed because they live hidden within wood, soil, or walls. The most common type seen is the worker termite, which has a soft, creamy white body, straight antennae, and no wings. Soldier termites are similar in size but have large, dark brown heads with strong jaws used for defending the colony. The most visible type is the swarmer or reproductive termite, which is dark brown or black with two pairs of long, equal-sized wings that extend beyond the body. These swarmers are often mistaken for flying ants but can be distinguished by their straight antennae, uniform waist, and wings of equal length. Piles of discarded wings near windows or doors are a common sign of a nearby termite colony.

Post-Construction Termite Treatment by AIPM

Procedure:
1. Inspection

Thorough site inspection is conducted to locate termite activity and potential entry points.

2. Drilling:
Precise holes (at junctions of the floor and wall, approximately 1-foot intervals) are drilled using advanced equipment.

3. Chemical Injection:
WHO-approved, certified anti-termite chemical is pressure-injected into the holes to reach termite colonies.

4. Vacuum Treatment:
Areas with hollow or termite-affected wood may be vacuumed to remove dust and loose particles for deep chemical penetration.

5. Filling & Sealing:
Once the chemical is applied, the drilled holes are properly filled and sealed with white cement to restore appearance and safety.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is post-construction termite treatment safe for my family and pets?

Yes, when performed by licensed professionals using approved termiticides, the treatment is safe. Experts take precautions to ensure that the chemicals are applied correctly and do not pose any health risks to occupants.

How do I know if I need post-construction termite treatment?

Signs like hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes on walls or foundations, discarded wings, or visible damage to furniture and structures are indicators of termite activity. A professional inspection can confirm if treatment is needed.

Are your rodent control methods safe for kids and pets?

Yes, we prioritize safety by using child- and pet-safe solutions, placing traps and baits in secure areas, and choosing methods that minimize exposure to harmful substances.

How can I prevent rodents from returning after treatment?

Ensure proper sanitation by cleaning regularly, store food in sealed containers, fix leaky pipes, clear clutter, and seal all cracks and openings that rodents might use to enter your property.

Do I need to leave my home during the treatment?

In most cases, no. Our rodent control methods are minimally invasive, allowing you to remain in your home during treatment. However, for specific treatments, our technicians will advise if temporary relocation is needed.
