The treatment procedure is aimed to provide protection to your home/structure against subterranean termites. Termiticides shall be applied on the soil and this can be done by directly injecting the ground using a technically designed termiticide soil injector.

Garden and perimeter spraying is a pest preventive measure that creates a barrier in your garden or in the exterior of your property to fend off incoming pests (termites) using pesticides and a pressurizing tank. Aside from the perimeters of your garden, it can also be sprayed on the possible entryways of your your property (such as doors, window sills, wall corners, decks, etc.). Termites have no chance when they come in contact with the pesticides, keeping your home and garden pest-free.

Termite baits are used to control subterranean termite infestations by using termite baits. It can be used as sole prevention and control method to known termite colonies.

It is also important to know about the termite caste system in order for this treatment to work. Termite baiting involves connecting with the worker termites and the termite queen which results to the eventual elimination of the entire termite colony.

The termite baiting systems that we use are Exterra or Exterminex Baiting Systems. Both products are known worldwide to effectively eliminate termites. These are environmentally friendly, safe, odorless, and are registered with Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Since termite baiting deals with subterranean termites, its bait should also adapt to the needs of its prey. Termite baiting system uses a device called termite detector station which is planted on the ground and encourages termite feeding. Wood will be placed inside and can later be replaced with a toxicant that prohibits immature worker temites to molt so they die prematurely.

To be able to accomplish eradication, a pre-baiting strategy must be implemented. There are 3 phases to a successful baiting:

Phase 1: Pre-baiting

• Scout termites will be locating food sources underground. They will find termite detector station with wood inside and tag it with pheromones. Worker termites will be following the pheromone trail and begin feeding on the wood. This will go on for some time until the worker termites build connection or “trust” with the bait.

Phase 2: Using Toxicant

• Once you gather the workers’ trust and they keep feeding on the bait, a growth hormone or toxicant can be placed, replacing their food. The workers will feed on this hormone until the feeding stops. The length of the feeding depends on the size of the colony.

Phase 3: Termite Colony Control

• After the feeding stops and enough worker termites are killed, there will be a huge impact on the system of the colony. Worker termites are in charge of bringing in food for the other termites, and with them gone, there won’t be enough food source for everyone. This will starve the whole colony. The worker termites also feed the soldiers and the queen. The decline of the colony will start to unfold.

Termite mounds (“Punso” in Tagalog) are homes to subterranean termites (can be underground or above-ground) and it is made like how humans build brick houses. Termites roll up balls of soil to make ‘bricks’. To make ‘cement’, they fill their mouths with moist soil mixed with their saliva, then they stack it together.

A single termite mound can take up to 3-4 years to build, but due to changing or harsh weather, a portion of it might collapse. This is a never-ending race against time as termites perpetually fix and improve their mounds. Even if a termite mound is 10 feet away from your property, termites can still reach inside it.

Termite mounds look easy to destroy. After all, it’s just soil, right? Well, the thing is, termite mounds are made of strapping and sturdy material so demolishing it is a lot more difficult than what it looks like. We also have to remember that if destroying mounds are not done meticulously, the termites left could just rebuild it again. It is best to leave it to the professionals to deal with these mounds.

We perform scientific and technical monitoring of termite presence by the use of Termatrac termite radar and detection device. Traditional termite monitoring uses “pukpok” and “tusok-tusok”, but with SureSolutions, we prevent the structures from further damage with the use of our termite detector devise.

State-of-the-Art Temite Detection Technology. Termatrac’s detection technology is unique to the market, designed and specifically calibrated to detect termites and other insect activity. The Radar sensor technology can be found on both the T3i All Sensor and the T3i Radar-Only. The radar technology confirms movement by penetrating through most building materials to locate and track termite and other insect activity.
