Termite Dust

Why Use Termite Dust?

There are times when termite infestations, especially when drywood termites or dampwood termites, will reach areas like the wall void, the woodwork in the attic, in the crawlspace, and etc. For these restricted areas that are hard to access, many times, termite control can be difficult. It requires continuous drilling and methodical placement of the insecticide as well as prior dilution of liquid termiticides and etc. Moreover, termite sprays and materials that are applied as a surface treatment have short residual times and require regular maintenance that can be too tedious to handle. The termite dust products that are provided by Pest Mall were made to treat such restricted areas. Dust products have a long residual time and will provide termite control restricted areas like the wall void and crawl space for at least 5 months. This means that there are less treatment plans with just as much efficiency.

Termite dusts act as a contact kill that is slightly delayed. Therefore, as the termites go about their daily routines and come in contact with the dust, they are given just enough time to brush against and infect others in their colony. This is exactly why you can trust that termite dusts are effective. Soon enough, you will see your termite problems dissipate and ultimately, with termite dusts, you will be able to eradicate the termite infestation that has invaded your house. Moreover, termite pest control agencies that specialize in termite control use the best products and can be trusted to do their services well. However, in today’s economy, the prices that they charge for their services can be too high to handle. Pest Mall provides all the same termite dusts professionals are using minus the service fees so that you can have the same termite treatment plan without having to pay as much money.

How to Effectively Use Termite Dust

Termite dust can be directly applied to restricted areas that show signs of active termite infestations. Such places include underground cable conduits, junction boxes, manholes, the attic, the crawlspace, directly into the channels of the damaged wooden members of a structure, cracks and crevices in between the wooden parts of a structure, the area between the wooden structures and the foundation, and etc. Also, termite dust can be used as a preventative in locations that are vulnerable to termite attack because of the long residual. Sometimes, drilling may be necessary to access certain areas. Remember to wear a face mask so that you do not inhale the dust while it is being applied. Also, keep in mind that dust products are prone to be inhaled and that is why they are used in restricted areas. They are the perfect supplemental product for a complete termite control.
