What do customers ask about Termite Treatment?
Common questions and tips from our work with Indianapolis customers.
How do you treat termites in older Indianapolis homes?
Older homes usually have more than one foundation type, past additions, and settled crawl spaces, all of which give subterranean termites new paths inside. We inspect those areas first, then apply a liquid termiticide barrier around the perimeter and place termite bait systems where soil conditions call for it. The plan gets adjusted to match how your home was actually built, not a one-size approach.
How long before termite treatment shows results?
Liquid termiticide barriers start working on contact, but colonies can take time to decline since worker termites carry the product back to the nest. Bait stations are checked on a recurring schedule, usually every few months, to confirm activity has dropped. We don't promise a fixed elimination date, since colony size and moisture conditions vary by property.
Tip
Why Older Homes Need a Different Approach
A house built decades ago often has a poured foundation under the original structure and a block or crawl space foundation under a later addition. Each seam is a potential entry point. Mud tubes along foundation walls, sagging floors near exterior doors, or discarded wings near windows are common signs. Treatment plans for these homes need to account for every foundation type on the property, not just the main structure.
Tip
Liquid Barriers vs Bait Systems
A liquid termiticide barrier creates a treated zone in the soil around the foundation that termites can't cross without contact. A termite bait system works differently, using stations placed in the ground that termites feed on and carry back to the colony. Many older homes benefit from both, since additions and crawl spaces don't always allow a continuous liquid barrier.
