Why Termite Control Is Crucial

Georgia has one of the highest risks for termite infestations in the entire country due to its humid, subtropical climate. Termites thrive in warmer conditions with ample food sources to consume. As a Bloomingdale homeowner, it’s critical to take termites seriously as a threat and invest in proper termite control.

Termites are responsible for billions in property damage each year in the U.S. In one recent study by the National Pest Management Association, one in five homeowners reported termite damage in the past five years totaling over $5 billion in repairs!

In Georgia, the cost of termite damage and control averages nearly $300 million annually. The danger is highest in coastal areas like Bloomingdale where termites are widespread.

Termites may be small, but they can rapidly destroy the structural integrity of your most valuable investment – your home. Here are key reasons proper termite control is so crucial:

• Termites eat cellulose material causing severe destruction. A termite colony containing just 200,000 workers can consume up to one pound of wood per day! 
• They damage framing, walls, floors, wood structures, and more if left to feed. This requires expensive repairs.
• Termites work silently out of sight inside wood and behind drywall. Major damage can occur before obvious signs appear.
• Collapsing porches, sagging roofs, and other sudden structural failures can happen if termites severely compromise supports. 
• Termite damage is rarely covered by homeowners insurance, leaving costly repairs to the homeowner.
• The longer termites remain undetected, the costlier the damage. Early detection and prevention are key.
• Termites can migrate to your home from surrounding properties putting you at constant risk.

Your home is a major investment deserving the utmost protection. Termite damage jeopardizes your home’s safety, function, and value. Trust Ideal Pest Control for proven termite control in Bloomingdale to shield your home from these destructive pests!

Professional Termite Treatment Solutions

If our inspection uncovers an active termite infestation in your Bloomingdale home, Ideal Pest Control has proven treatment solutions to eliminate them. We take an integrated pest management approach using a combination of methods to control termites and prevent their return.

Liquid Soil Treatment

Our most common treatment involves applying a non-repellent termiticide, to form an invisible barrier around your home. Termites pass through the treated soil, ingest it, and die after returning to the colony. Over time, this eliminates the entire colony. This treatment provides long-term residual control, preventing future termite infestations.

Baiting Systems

In some situations, we recommend installing termite bait stations around your home. These systems lure termites to the bait where they ingest a non-toxic material that they spread throughout the colony. Over time, this eliminates termites without the use of liquid termiticides while providing ongoing protection.

Wood Treatments

For localized drywood termite infestations within decks, fencing, wooden structures, or trees, we can provide targeted liquid or foam treatments. This kills termites inside without damaging the underlying wood.

Fumigation

For severe, widespread infestations, fumigation of the entire home may be needed to eliminate termites. This involves sealing your home and releasing gas to penetrate the wood and kill drywood termites. We handle fumigation safely and efficiently.

Our customized treatment plans aim to eliminate your current termites and provide long-term preventative protection. We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee.

Termite Prevention & Control

In addition to treatments, effective termite control requires taking preventative measures to discourage future infestations. Ideal Pest Control can help identify and correct conditions around your Bloomingdale home that invite termites.

Here are some tips we recommend for termite prevention:

• Eliminate all wood-soil contact points. Use cement, gravel, or metal barriers to separate wood structures from soil. 
• Reduce moisture sources such as standing water, leaks, condensation, and poor drainage. 
• Ensure crawl spaces, basements, attics, and slabs have adequate ventilation and airflow.
• Store firewood, building materials, and debris away from your home’s foundation.
• Prune trees and foliage to avoid contact with your roof and siding.
• Seal cracks, foams, and openings on the exterior that could allow termite entry.
• Have a maintenance plan to detect termites early through regular inspections.

With diligence, preventative maintenance, and prompt treatment if termites are spotted, you can protect your valuable Bloomingdale home from destruction.
