Comparing Termite Treatment Options for Ames, IA Homes

Protecting your Ames, IA home from subterranean termites, the most common type, involves creating a barrier they cannot cross to reach your home's wood. Here’s a comparison of the two leading methods offered by KB's Pest & Termite Control.

Liquid Termiticide Barrier (e.g., Termidor®)

• How it Works: This method involves applying a low-concentration, non-repellent liquid termiticide into the soil around the entire exterior perimeter of your home's foundation. It creates a continuous treated zone. Termites cannot detect it, so they pass through it, become carriers, and transfer the termiticide to the rest of the colony, leading to its elimination.
• Pros: Provides immediate protection for your home, is highly effective and fast-acting, and can offer protection for many years.
• Cons: The application process can be more invasive, sometimes requiring minor drilling into concrete slabs (like patios or garage floors) to treat the soil underneath.
• Best For: Ames, IA homes needing immediate, long-lasting protection, and for properties where the foundation can be fully accessed for treatment.
