Termites rarely emerge from soil, mud tubes, or food sources through which they are tunneling. Most people are not aware they have termites until they see a swarm or come across damage during construction. Some of the ways to discover if you have termites are listed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Examine, by probing, exposed wood for hollow spots (using a flathead screwdriver or similar tool).<\/li>\n<li>Identify termite swarms (sometimes ant swarms are mistaken as termites).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ants<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>front wings longer than the hind wings<\/li>\n<li>antennae bent at ninety degree angle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0Termites<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>wings are roughly equal in length<\/li>\n<li>antennae are straight; may droop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most common form of termite in most of the United States is the native subterranean termite<span class=\"usa-tag external-link__tag\" title=\"Exit EPA website\"><span class=\"u-visually-hidden\">\u00a0EPA WEBSITE<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 Other, less common, types of termites include the smaller\u00a0drywood termite<span class=\"usa-tag external-link__tag\" title=\"Exit EPA website\"><span class=\"u-visually-hidden\">\u00a0EPA WEBSITE<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and the invasive\u00a0Formosan termite<span class=\"usa-tag external-link__tag\" title=\"Exit EPA website\"><span class=\"u-visually-hidden\">\u00a0EPA WEBSITE<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\">How Can I Prevent Termite Infestation?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Make the Structure Less Attractive to Termites<\/h3>\n<p>During construction, use a concrete foundation and leave a ventilation space between the soil and wood. Cover exposed wood surfaces with a sealant or metal barrier.<\/p>\n<h3>Maintain the Termite Prevention Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>After construction, keep the soil around the foundation dry through proper grading and drainage (including maintenance of gutters and downspouts).<\/li>\n<li>Reduce openings that offer termites access to the structure (filling cracks in cement foundations as well as around where utilities pass through the wall with cement, grout, or caulk).<\/li>\n<li>Fix leaks immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Keep vents free from blockage, including plants.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that trees and shrubs are not planted too close to the structure and do not allow them to grow against exposed wood surfaces.<\/li>\n<li>Do not pile or store firewood or wood debris next to the house.<\/li>\n<li>Inspect periodically to help ensure that termite colonies do not become established.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800000;\">What are the Different Types of Termite Treatments?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Non-Chemical Treatments<\/h3>\n<p>Some ways to keep termites out do not involve the application of insecticides. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One such method is a physical barrier, typically incorporated during construction.<\/li>\n<li>Steel mesh and sands of particular sizes have been shown to perform effectively as physical barriers.<\/li>\n<li>Biological control agents (nematodes and fungi) have demonstrated some success, particularly in laboratory settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because these methods do not involve the application of an insecticide, EPA does not regulate them.<\/p>\n<h3>Chemical Treatments<\/h3>\n<p>Before a company can sell or distribute any pesticide in the United States, other than certain\u00a0minimum risk pesticides, EPA must review studies on the pesticide to determine that it will not pose unreasonable risks to human health or the environment. Once we have made that determination, we will license or register that pesticide for use in strict accordance with label directions. The pesticides used for the prevention or treatment of termite infestations are called termiticides and must demonstrate the ability to provide structural protection before we register them. In most cases, termiticide application can only be properly performed by a trained pest management professional.<\/p>\n<p>Approved treatments include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Liquid soil-applied termiticides.<\/li>\n<li>Termite baits.<\/li>\n<li>Building materials impregnated with termiticides.<\/li>\n<li>Wood treatments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two common forms of treatment are conventional barrier treatments and termite baits.<\/p>\n<h3>Conventional Barrier Treatments<\/h3>\n<p>The most common technique for treating termite infestations is the soil-applied barrier treatment. Termiticides used for barrier treatments must be specifically labeled for that use.<\/p>\n<p>If conducted improperly, these treatments can cause contamination of the home and surrounding drinking water wells and will not protect against termites. For that reason, it is important to hire a pest management professional who is licensed and trained to take proper precautions. The most common\u00a0active ingredients\u00a0found in conventional termiticides are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acetamiprid<\/li>\n<li>Bifenthrin<\/li>\n<li>Chlorantraniliprole<\/li>\n<li>Chlorfenapyr<\/li>\n<li>Cyfluthrin<\/li>\n<li>Cypermethrin<\/li>\n<li>Esfenvalerate<\/li>\n<li>Fipronil.

These systems rely on cellulose baits that contain a slow-acting insecticide.<\/p>\n<p>The most common\u00a0active ingredients\u00a0found in termite baits are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diflubenzuron\u00a0&#8211; inhibits insect development.<\/li>\n<li>Hexaflumuron- first active ingredient registered as a\u00a0reduced-risk pesticide. It is used as part of a termite inspection, monitoring, and baiting system.
