Protecting Your North Georgia Property From Termites
Termites pose a significant threat to any building, capable of causing extensive and costly damage if not professionally managed. As your local termite experts, The Terminator Pest Control Service provides a comprehensive solution. We focus on meticulously identifying the scope of your infestation, applying proven treatments to control the colony, and implementing measures to prevent them from returning.
Our Inspection & Identification Process
Effective termite control begins with a professional inspection. Our technicians are trained to identify all signs of an infestation, including subtle evidence like pencil-sized mud tubes on the foundation or the presence of “swarmers” (flying termites) in the spring.
We conduct a thorough assessment to determine:
- The type of termite present.
- The full extent of the colony.
- The precise entry points they are using to access your home or business.
This detailed evaluation allows us to develop the most effective, targeted treatment plan for your specific situation.
termites cause damage to 600,000 homes per year
We’ll make sure yours isn’t one of them.
Our Consultative Approach to Termite Control
Once we have a clear understanding of the situation, our team implements a complete remediation plan. We use proven, industry-leading products like the Sentricon baiting system and targeted liquid applications to ensure the entire colony is effectively eliminated—not just the termites visible to the eye.
A critical part of our service is addressing the “conducive conditions” that attract termites. Depending on your property’s needs, our plan may include:
- Applying an effective liquid barrier treatment to the soil.
- Installing professional vapor barriers in crawl spaces to reduce soil moisture.
- Improving ventilation in crawl spaces or basements.
- Installing termite bait systems for ongoing monitoring and early warning.
- Removing cellulose debris from crawl spaces.
By correcting the root causes, we help prevent new infestations from ever taking root.
Sentricon: the Gold Standard in Termite Protection
Protect your home with the world’s most advanced termite baiting technology. We use the Sentricon System to go beyond simple barriers, targeting termites at their source.
-
Designed for Colony Control: Sentricon is engineered to be shared throughout the colony to target the population at its source, including the queen.
-
Proven Reliability: It is the #1 brand in termite protection, protecting millions of homes across the country.
-
Eco-Friendly: Sentricon uses targeted bait that is safe for your family and pets while remaining lethal to termites.
Proactive Prevention: A Partnership
Long-term protection is a partnership. We advise homeowners to help mitigate risk by addressing common issues. We recommend these key preventative steps:
- Eliminate Wood-to-Soil Contact: Keep siding, deck posts, and wood trim at least 6 inches above the ground.
- Remove Wood Debris: Store firewood, lumber, and cardboard off the ground and away from the house.
- Seal Entry Points: Caulk cracks in the foundation and gaps around utility pipes.
- Manage Moisture: Fix any plumbing leaks promptly and ensure gutters and downspouts direct water far away from the foundation.
Secure Your Investment
If you suspect you have a termite issue, it is crucial to act quickly. We advise against relying on store-bought products, as an incomplete treatment can leave the colony active and allow damage to continue.
