The fear of unexpected earthquakes, floods, or fire breakouts is unavoidable if you own a property. Termites, however, are far worse because they have the power to quietly and gradually destroy your dream home from the inside.
Despite their small size and friendly nature, termites can form colonies and demolish an entire building. Most pests spread diseases or contaminate food by spreading germs across the surrounding area. Termites, however, do not contaminate food or extended illness. They hollow them out from the inside, severely harming your property. This article will explore pest prevention methods for avoiding termites while constructing a structure. Contact Brooks Pest Control to eliminate termites from your construction area.

Eliminating termites in building construction
We need to learn how these tiny creatures harm structures. Concrete has no nutritional value, and termites’ digestive systems cannot break it down; therefore, they do not consume it. They dug holes in the walls to get their favorite meal, wood. To get to the wooden baseboards, furry strips behind the wallboard, and inner stud walls of the home, termites destroy anything in their path.
Pre-construction loss caused by termites
Termites are considered pests as they endanger your life or your property. By inflicting them, they undermine the building’s solidity. Termites exist in colonies and can destroy a building’s foundation, pillars, beams, and whole structural support, making it inappropriate for human habitation. Therefore, you must take precautions in advance to protect your home against a severe termite infestation.
Post-construction loss by the termites
Termites are not harmful to people, as we have already mentioned. They do not spread diseases. However, they sting and bite when they come into contact with human flesh. Although their bites are not poisonous, they can be harmful if they go into a sleeping person’s ear, rendering them irreversibly deaf. Termites eat through the wooden frames of the home’s furnishings and wall structures. Dust and wood pieces are released into the air due to this activity. Some individuals may get asthma episodes due to allergies to certain substances.
Pest control firms use anti-termite insecticides for this particular reason. They will use bait to treat your residence if it does not work out. They will consider soil or temperature-sensitive treatment if the damage is more severe than mild. Fipronil and hexaflumuron are the chemicals frequently utilized in post-construction termite control treatments. The post-construction termite treatment service does not begin operations for 24 to 36 hours. The treatment’s results could last up to 90 days.
