If you or someone you know has experienced the horror stories of a termite infestation, you understand the importance of pest control. At Pelican Pest Control, our termite exterminators are ready to assist with termite control, termite removal, and thorough pest removal to protect your home from these destructive pests!

In most cases, if you have a termite problem in Louisiana, you'll notice signs of an infestation. However, if you haven’t taken preventative measures, termites could be quietly damaging your home. The type of termite present also impacts visibility—dry wood termites burrow deep within the wood, while subterranean termites stay underground.

There are ways to attempt to prevent termites like piling your wood at least 20 ft from your house, clean up any wood or plant debris around your house, trim your bushes and branches away from your house, and reducing moisture in and around your home. However, when termites have already found a way in, there’s almost nothing you can do on your own to get rid of termites besides call a team of professionals.

Termite Inspection

We’ll begin by performing a thorough inspection to determine if termite infestation are active in your home. All of our pest control professionals have the training needed to spot the subtle signs of a termite infestation that the untrained eye might miss. We’ll offer a pest inspection for the entire interior of your house, looking in each room, closet, and even the attic. We’ll look for dead swarmer termites, bubbling paint, exit holes, and mud tubes. Outside, we’ll examine the foundation of your home to check for mud tubes.

Termite Removal Treatment

We offer two termite removal treatment options, bait stations or liquid treatments. Based on the findings of our termite inspection, we’ll discuss these options with you and help you choose the one that will work best for your particular situation.

Bait Stations 

We use Trelona ATBSⓇ bait stations, which work to provide ongoing structural protection through termite removal. We will install these bait stations around the perimeter of your home by digging a 2 to 3-inch diameter by 1-inch deep cavity into the ground 10 to 20 ft apart from each other. This is an effective termite control method in LA. Bait stations provide year-round protection and are mostly used for the prevention of future infestations. 

While tunneling in search of a food source, termites find a Trelona ATBS bait station, feed, then leave a pheromone trail behind them as they travel back to the colony. Upon returning to the colony, they share the bait with others and recruit more termites to follow the pheromone trail back to the source. What they don’t realize is the bait contains Novaluron—an active ingredient that prevents the termites’ vital process of molting. Over time, more and more termites will have fed upon the bait and start to die, beginning the process of termite extermination.

Liquid Treatment

Our other termite treatment option is a liquid treatment using Termidor HE Liquid, also the second-best termite control and removal method. We’ll dig a trench around the entire perimeter of your home, apply a liquid treatment into the soil, and then refill the trench. We’ll also drill holes into your slab and apply treatment within the holes before patching them back up. This treatment creates a Termite barrier around your house. If termites pass through it, they’ll bring the termiticide back to their colony, again, eliminating the entire thing.

Follow-Up

After every treatment we use on your property or in your home, we will always follow up with termite inspection 60 to 90 days later. With termites especially, we want to make sure our products work with the elimination of the termites as well as the prevention of further infestations. After the initial follow-up, our professional pest removers will also come out to your property once a year to inspect any installed bait stations and provide any services needed. With the Louisiana weather, termites are inevitable but we will do our best to fully prevent them from entering your home.
