Termite Spot Treatment and Control in Boca Raton, Florida
Direct Treatment for Drywood Termite Infestation in Isolated Areas
Fast, effective solution for visible and contained infestations.
Localized or spot treatments focus on active drywood termite colonies in specific zones, such as baseboards, wall voids, attic beams, or single boards. Best used when infestations are visible and limited, this method allows direct application into infested wood using termiticides, foams, or alternative treatments like heat or orange oil.
Spot treatments are effective for drywood termites, not subterranean termites, and work well when applied properly. This option avoids tent fumigation and minimizes disruption to structural wood members and wall coverings.
How Spot and Localized Termite Treatments Work
When termite activity is limited to isolated areas, spot treatment termite control can solve the problem without whole-structure fumigation. Here's the process:
1. The infestation site is inspected and confirmed.
We identify active drywood termite colonies through termite inspections, visual evidence, wood probing, and localized detection tools.
2. Treatment is injected directly into the affected wood.
Termiticides, foam, or heat treatment methods are applied directly into the infested wood through small access points. These penetrate galleries where termites live.
3. The colony is eliminated at the source.
The treatment kills termites inside the wood, stopping the infestation at its source. In some cases, other methods like liquid nitrogen may be used based on location and extent.
4. Follow-up evaluations ensure the area stays clear.
We inspect treated zones for signs of continued activity and recommend further steps if needed.
This method is effective for controlling termites and infestations in wall voids, baseboards, structural wood, or near slab penetrations without the disruption of tent fumigation.
