There are some small munching machines which invade our homes every time they find a way in. These creatures are really after the cellulose in the wood and do not really mind if this is a piece of valued furniture that is much loved and valued. It is this which galvanizes people into action whenever they see some signs of infestation. For those who want to know how to keep the creatures out of the home; look up ‘termite’ or ‘termite control’ online to see which companies undertake the work in the local area.

These creatures are usually nesting very far from the home but they can travel several miles to find food. This is what makes it so difficult to find where the queen is. The queen is the one who lays eggs and she will be the target of anyone who wants to get rid of the nest completely. How these clever experts do this is to work in a number of ways. The experts can either dig a trench, all around the building in a circle, and pour in gallons of toxic chemicals or they can try another high tech way to ensure that the queen is killed off as soon as possible.

The high-tech way consists of sinking feeding tubes into the ground at regular intervals around the building. This takes the place of the trench mentioned earlier but is much less intrusive to the garden or the sidewalks if the place is set in a city. Within the tubes, which are quite long and sit flush with the ground, is placed some poisoned bait. Here is where the cleverness of experts takes over since they have used the natural behavior of the pest to kill it off.

Worker creatures come to collect food to take back to the nest for the other insects and the queen. Once she feeds on the poison bait, she dies and no more eggs will be laid. This means, obviously, that the colony will definitely die out over a short time. Some of these tubes are visible as small round caps around some of the most famous buildings in the world. The neat thing about them is that they can be monitored every few days or so to see if the bait is being taken. Once the colony is killed off, the tubes stay in place so that they can be baited intermittently to keep the pests out of buildings which we treasure.

Whichever way the pests are controlled and this can be in other ways other than those mentioned here, it is important to note that they will never be eradicated completely. This is an ongoing fight which needs experts in the field to keep them down as much as possible. This means that a regular check up should be undertaken, probably by the experts, who will know what the signs of infestation are. Considering how much damage can be done by these tiny creatures, the cost of hiring experts is a small price to pay for sure.
