What Is Termite Fumigation?
When termites infest a home, it can be an expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes even a frightening event. Consequently, many home owners will turn to termite fumigation to rid their homes of the destructive pests. There are two main kinds of termites: subterranean and drywood. The kind of termite which is invading a home depends on the location and the climate of the area, with drywood termites preferring humid areas and living inside the wood of the home, while subterranean termites living in the ground and boring into the structure from below. The preferred method of extermination for drywood termites is fumigation; however, subterranean termites need additional steps to provide a barrier between the ground and the structure to prevent re-infestation.
