Underground termites are a subspecies that have a long life cycle. These insects can live in huge colonies and stretch to places with a large accumulation of metal and wood, which, above all, are our homes. Termites lead to aging of wood and metal supporting structures, which in the most adverse circumstances can lead to the destruction of your home. Underground termites are the most harmful insects and do more harm than all fires and hurricanes combined. Their presence can be difficult enough to determine, but if you find them in your house, then start acting immediately.

Method1 Chemical treatment

Process the wood. 

Simple but effective remedies will help restrain the onset of termites by simply increasing the density of the wood. With a small investment, you can save your thousands in the future. But be aware that over time, wood will still age, soften, and become more vulnerable to termite attack.

The use of liquid chemicals for wood. You can spray thermicides directly onto the surface of the wood to protect it from the effects of underground termites. But remember that such an approach can only protect treated areas of wood and is not able to solve the issue as a whole. [1]

Creation of a chemical barrier in the soil. 

By creating a chemical barrier around the outer perimeter of your home, you can greatly complicate the access of underground termites to your home. This effect can be achieved through the use of liquid insecticide. You need to spray the insecticide on the soil near the foundation. This procedure should be carried out before the start of construction and is mandatory almost throughout the country.
Processing can be performed after construction. This will require drilling holes in the ceilings to introduce the insecticide into the foundation. [2]

Choose repellent or non-repellent chemicals. When you use chemical insecticides, it is very important to know which of its types is suitable in your case. There are two main types of liquid chemicals: repellents and non-repellents. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, so make sure that you have a good enough idea of each to understand which is right for you.

Use liquid repellent. 

Based on the name, it becomes clear that this tool is used as a preventive measure to protect the foundation of the house from termites. It allows you to create a barrier that will last for several years. That is, at this time termites can only move around the barrier, but will not be able to cross it. Keep in mind that creating an ideal barrier without gaps when the house is already built is very difficult, and termites can detect these gaps and gain access to the house. [3]
If at least one termite scout finds a gap in the repellent, then later he will return with help in the form of a huge number of brothers.

Use of liquid non-repellent thermicide. 

There are several non-repellent thermicidal solutions that you can purchase. This tool will not stop the termite attack itself, but will kill some of them. Under the influence of thermicide injected into the tunnels, termites will die.
You can throw termites poisoned by chemicals into their main colony, where during contact during feeding they will transfer toxins to even more of their brethren. [4]
