Comparing Termite Treatment Options for Ruidoso Downs, NM Homes


Protecting your Ruidoso Downs, NM 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: Ruidoso Downs, NM homes needing immediate, long-lasting protection, and for properties where the foundation can be fully accessed for treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems (e.g., Sentricon®)


  • How it Works: This method involves installing discreet bait stations in the soil every 10-20 feet around the perimeter of your Ruidoso Downs, NM home. Initially, these stations contain a monitoring device. When termites are detected feeding on the monitor, the device is replaced with a slow-acting bait that is even more attractive to termites than wood. Worker termites feed on the bait, carry it back to the colony, and share it, leading to total colony elimination.
  • Pros: Less invasive installation with no drilling or trenching required, environmentally sensitive (uses a very small amount of targeted bait only when needed), and provides ongoing monitoring against new termite threats.
  • Cons: It takes longer to achieve colony elimination, as the termites must first find and then feed on the bait.
  • Best For: Ruidoso Downs, NM homeowners who prefer a less invasive, eco-friendly approach, for properties with complex construction or wells nearby, and for those who value continuous, long-term monitoring.A certified technician from KB's Pest & Termite Control can perform a thorough inspection of your Ruidoso Downs, NM property and recommend the treatment method that will provide the best protection for your specific situation.
